Re: [orca-list] Icewheezel or Firefox

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

I had it on the workstation I set up at work for a time.  I found it hard to
read webpages using the arrow keys, certain links didn't get read properly
and it was just kind of clunky if you get my meaning.  Then, I got ahold of
the debian mint repository info and key and I was able to add Firefox proper
to my installation and it was like night and day.  Much more responsive and
it behaved as expected.  I found the same to be true of Icedove which is the
Debian answer to Thunderbird.  For those two products, you are far better
off with the upstream version and not the fork.  It even says so in the
Debian accessibility wiki page:

https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility

I found them to be pretty spot on.  There's an intimation that later
versions of Iceweasel might work better but I can't speak to that
personally.  I only tried the one in Wheezy.

Why's that?  I heard something like that before, but during my brief use of
Ice Weasel with the Debian live CD (on a computer where I got sound) it
seemed to work properly.  Thanks!
