[orca-list] Unfocused Firefox Content and Progress/Landmark Messages

[Jared Wright <wright jaredm gmail com>]

I wanted to suggest reconsidering whether  all progress messages and 
landmark  updates aught be spoken everywhere in Firefox at all times. My 
suggestion is  that only those in the currently focused window/tab 
should be automatically spoken, regardless of politeness settings in the 
case of landmark updates. As it is if a user  opens a news story in a 
new window/tab from a  Facebook link in an original  window/tab while  a 
large download  runs in the downloads window, the numerous live region 
updates from Facebook and progress updates  from the download window  
bleed into the news  story. Get a landmark-heavy site or multiple 
sources   of progress  updates going and this can become speech soup 
very quickly!

Just a passing thought. Open to existing solutions, of course, I still 
wouldn't pretend to know Orca's finer customizations as well as I 
eventually hope to and might be missing something.
