Re: [orca-list] Changing Search Engines in Firefox

[Krishnakant Mane <krmane gmail com>]

Yes I can confirm this.
I pressed ctrl+k and then pressed alt + down arrow.
I can hear the list of search engines with Orca all right, but after I 
select one, I still hear search using Google, as if the search has the 
static label.
Happy hacking.
