Hi,

I am using an orca-git version built last weekend and just updated to
Ff and Tb11. The issues are still there, wich means:
* Braille is not updated when typing in address bar or a form field in
Firefox.
* Braille is not updated when typing in any message field in Thunderbird.
* Word echo does not work in Ff and Tb, but doesn't either e.g. in
gnome-terminal, so I don't know if this is related to the same bug.
I'll re-build orca and at-spi-related components later today and try
if something have changed. Trying out a master version of at-spi2-core
at least fixed the issue with edit boxes and focus for me (e.g. in
gedit), but caused serious trouble with Firefox: Navigating through
pages was practically impossible and I had permanent crashes and
"deadlocks", so I downgraded at-spi2-core to stable. Maybe something
has changed with the release of Ff10. As far as I know, the bug with
form fields etc. has to be fixed by Mozilla and I don't understand why
nothing has changed for almost a year right now.

Cheers,
Jakob
