Re: [orca-list] Firefox caret gets caught on links?

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Yes, I have been seeing this seemingly more frequently in recent
time.  I'm mostly using version 3.5.9 of Firefox and latest git-pulls
of Orca.  Sometimes I can get out of that point by hitting the
downarrow several times in rapid succession to move past it;
otherwise, I have to hit tab or some other structural navigation
command to move on.  Wonder if it has anything to do with dead
accessibles.  I still can't quite comprehend what dead accessibles are
but understand them to be the root cause of many Firefox related bugs
with Orca.

Dunno if FF 3.6.5+ would be any better in this regard but frankly I
find 3.6 versions of Firefox to be to unstable for my tasts - to many
navigation bugs and that bookmarks dialog is completely broken!
