Re: [orca-list] Icewheezel or Firefox

["John G. Heim" <jheim math wisc edu>]

I think it depends on which version of orca you are using. I've found 
that firefox causes considerable instability in the version of orca that 
is in debian wheezy, 3.4.2.  Up until this week, I had been using debian 
squeeze and firefox but I had to keep my version of firefox at 23. The 
current version of firefox is 28. Orca 3.4.2 seems to work pretty well 
with iceweasel.

The problem with firefox and orca in debian wheezy seems to have 
something to do with speech-dispatcher. If I start firefox, my PC seems 
dead. There is no speech and even the keyboard seems to have stopped 
working. But if I open a  character window and kill speech-dispatcher, 
orca starts up again.  It will die again after a few seconds and 
restarting speech-dispatcher brings it back again. But if I kill off the 
firefox process and speech-dispatcher both, then orca seems fine. In 
fact, I'm typing this message in thunderbird after having just gone 
through the whole process.
