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



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.

Hello, everyone!

I am not sure if anyone else here uses different search engines on the search bar within Firefox, and I do not recall seeing this posted anywhere, so I was wondering if this is a known issue. When in Firefox, pressing the CTRL+ALT+K key combination will place you within the search bar in Firefox. In most Linux distributions the default search engine is google. By pressing CTRL+ALT+Down and CTRL+ALT+Up one can choose a different search engine (e.g. Amazon, eBay, etc) for use. I notice that when I change the search engine to be used that Orca will repeat, regardless of the chosen search engine, "Search using Google: Entry". Does anyone else have the same experience?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox.
2. Press CTRL+ALT+K to jump to the search entry field.
3. Press CTRL+ALT+Down to switch to a diffrent search engine.
4. Notice that regardless of which search engine you go to, Orca will repeat "Search using Google: Entry". 5. Perss CTRL+ALT+Up until Orca no longer speaks and you will be returned to the Google search option.

Thanks for any input on this one. I know that there are more important issues to be solved than this, but I just wanted to see if anyone else could confirm this. This is an inexperienced assumption, but could it be taht Firefox is not reporting to Orca that the search engine has been changed?

Thanks again, and take care.
