Re: [orca-list] how come firefox 3.6 is suddenly accessible?

[hackingKK <hackingkk gmail com>]

Ok, on a couple of web sites i felt there was this problem of navigation 
in the backword direction.
But this is so trivial and it does not seem to happen with all the web 
sites.
With the given free as in freedom of firefox, with the given community 
and resulting popularity and with the given speed boost of version 3.6 
in particular, I think it is no problems for me.

Happy hacking.
