Re: [orca-list] Firefox 6 (with Aria improvements)

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Arch Linux just rolled out both Firefox and Thunderbird 6.0 today and 
one big observation to me is that links and the tab key work properly 
now.  All the time I was in my gmail accounts and the web interface 
there of, I could always hit tab and the proper link was tabbed to every 
time.  the edit boxes still don't work for me however.  I can type in 
them but nothing is echoed by Orca; that part seems to be unchanged to me.
