Hey Storm.

Thanks for the testing and feedback!

Maybe; maybe not. The Gecko script is still filled with sad,
non-performant hacks and looking into those is next on my to-do list. In
other words, yes, we are far from done with this early-in-the-cycle
upheaval and possibility of regressions. But there's still hope, even
for the Firefox support.

After I go through all those Gecko hacks, I plan to make the utility and
generator methods more efficient across the board. That should further
speed Orca up in general and hopefully with Firefox as well.

I wouldn't go that far, but your comment made my day. So... Thanks! <smiles>
