Thank for your your reply, Jason.

I did come across the Firefox Accessibility Extension
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5809/) which adds an
Accessibility menu to the menubar. In this menu, under Navigation, there
is an option for "Links" which generates a list of links on the page.
> From my small amount of testing, Orca seems to read the content of the
window quite well. It is also customizable in that one can choose which
link attributes display in the window in columnar format--Type (Web,
Mobile, etc), Text ("click here", "About Us", etc).

I'm going to check into this more in-depth when I have time. It seems
like a very helpful extension.

Please take care.
