Hi Bill
Navigating forward I don't get the caret problems. Navigating in reverse
however seems to trigger them. Still, this isn't inaccessibility. It's a
bug, and a relatively minor one all things considered. Mozilla should
definitely integrate a fix for it though. The performance boost I get
from 3.6 on my relatively slow machines is worth the bug.

Try navigation on this web page:

When it opens it should announce "First heading heading level one."
Press the 'h' key to move to the second heading, with should announce
"Second heading heading level one."  Now press Tab.  It should say
"third link" if your Firefox is working properly.  If it instead says
"first link", then your browser has the caret navigation bug caused by
an error in set_caret_offset.  Let me know what happens.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi
It's been accessible for a month and a half now, since a gecko change in
version 3.6.2. I don't know why people are still calling it
inaccessible. There's apparently some people having trouble with the
bookmarks dialog losing focus, but I've not yet been able to duplicate
the problem. NOte that I don't mean there's an Ubuntu-specific patch for
accessibility, the change happened in stock Firefox around the middle of
march though I forget the exact date it changed. One day I updated 3.6.2
and it was accessible and it has been since.

hello all,
I have read on this list that firefox 3.6 is not accessible.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and actually uninstalled ff3.6 and tryed sudo
apt-get install firefox-3.5.  It did not work as expected and now I have
the 3.6.3 version and to my utter surprise it is totally accessible!
At least I did not find the inconsistant behaviour.
Can some one xplain what's going on here?

Happy hacking.
