[orca-list] How to improve my navigation with Orca in Firefox?

[luciano de souza <luchyanus gmail com>]

Hi listers,

The last version of Orca has improved many aspects concerning to
performance. Now, it's possible to freely navigate among thousands of
messages in Thunderbird. It's also confortable to list and navigate in
/usr/bin with its thousands of items.

In spite of this unquestionable evolution, the navigation in Firefox
is sllow and uncofortable:

1. Having typed a new address, often, a long time is spent before Orca
speaks something. As I don't have a sound feedback, I press repetely
the tab key without feeling any effect.

2. Orca has a magic keystroke to search text. It's the "o" key.
However, when I am not searching text, the confort is reduced.

When a large number of tabs is required, the navigation is bad. Yes,
here are lots of keys to navigate between headers, paragraphs, tables,
blocks, visited and unvisited links. but I don't know how to navigate
between blocks of links.

In Windows, using NVDA, I can press ctrl + downarrow to navigate  from
a block of links, horizontally aligned, to another block.

This keystroke increase the speed of navigation. If I have 100 links,
distributed in 10 rows of 10 links, if I want to reach the 65th link,
in stead of pressing tab 65 times, I can press ctrl + downarrow 6
times and tab 5 times.

Can we navigate with Orca in a similar way?

Regards,

Luciano
