[orca-list] firefox freezes accessibility support



Hello,
Occasionally while browsing the web using Firefox I experience a freeze. I haven't found a way on how to get more relevant info. What happens is that orca goes completelly silent and firefox does not respond to keyboard events. If I keep running Firefox open without me doing anything I can see the CPU usage increases hogging one of the cores. The only workaround I am aware of is to launch gnome terminal and kill firefox. Immediatelly as firefox gets killed orca functionality returns back and I can continue working like normal. I can't definitelly reproduce this it's why I haven't tryed to report it earlier. I think this is happening for quite some time, I think Firefox 25, Firefox 26 and Firefox 27 are affected. I haven't yet tested newer versions.
Do you know if there is corresponding Mozilla bug open for this already?

Greetings

Peter
