Re: [orca-list] Why Orca navigation algorithms are not supporting Clickable embedded Adobe flash player objects?

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

While on this topic, I want to emphasize that flat review seems to be
completely unusable in Firefox.  Many times, one needs to be able to
look around a website with flat review because of hot spots and
similar objects.  Ever since Firefox 4.0 or so, flat review would not
allow me to review any page contents except for the menu bar, and
sometimes the status bar.
