Re: [orca-list] Which flavor of Debian for Orca

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Hi,

The Trisquel 5.5 image has the latest version of the Mozilla browser, as 
of the date, back in April, when the image was made.  However, it will 
update to version 12.  Notice, the browser is unbranded, since Trisquel 
has made some modifications, and is not allowed to keep the Firefox 
branding.

Since the default desktop ui is Gnome 3.2 (in classic mode), you need 
not worry about Gnome Shell.  In the Trisquel community, there is some 
discussion of upgrading the Gnome to 3.4, though I do not recommend this 
course for people who need accessibility, just yet.  Trisquel 6.0 will 
be a long-term stable release, and is due in time for Software Freedom 
Day, in September, 2012.



Cheers,



Dave  Hunt
