Re: [orca-list] firefox freezes accessibility support

I've seen similar behavior to this and I've addressed it by turning Orca off
and then on again with super+alt+s.

Subject: [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
