Re: [orca-list] Flat Review is a Mess in Firefox



ello,
About year and a half status bar has been removed from Firefox. Since that time there was a small bar at the top of its window where addons were putting their icons. In Firefox 29 as a part of so called project australis this has also been removed. So I guess such an icon is not there and access through the tools menu, through the context menu and keyboard shortcuts is what has left I think.

Greetings

Peter

Firstly, the easiest way to use last pass is from the contextual menus accessed with shift f10 or the menu 
key. There you
should find a couple entries, plus log-in to last pass if you are not already logged in. I think there may be 
some
keyboard shortcuts as well, but I've never used them if they exist. YOu find both formfill items and password 
and user
name items in the two submenus, as well as the log-in I mentioned. This is not the same for chrome btw, but 
you use the
same basic process to get at last pass options.
You do usually see some history stuff with flat review, and one extentsion I use is accessed by flat review 
as well. I'm
not sure if there are artifacts left from previously visited pages in some cases.
YOu do not ever see the whole webpage in most cases/sites, but there are times where some buttons are 
accessed via flat
review that can't be pressed with spacebar or enter.
I downloaded firefox29 a couple days ago, but have not yet tested it. I will likely continue to use firefox 
24 as there's
an extension I find very useful that is broken starting with firefox26, and the patch that is available did 
not appear to
work at all for me.
I do not know if the rerouting you mention has ever been part of orca/firefox functionality. Have you done 
the things you
can't do with firefox29 on earlier versions, and if so which ones?

I don't know if this personal error or what but while running firefox
29.0 (I thought I would give it a try), flat review hardly works for
me. First off, when I press orca+k to read the current word it always
says "File" which would be the first item of the menu bar. If I press
orca+9 to route the mouse pointer to the current position, it seems to
have no effect. I would have expected to have the flat review pointer
be moved down to the current item focused by moving the arrow keys and
normal orca reading of the web page. In fact, it looks like flat
review is showing stuff from a previously visited page.

All and all, it is a total mess for me. What I'm actually trying to do
is get to the LastPass tool bar at top of the page and I cannot even
find that now. It was hit and miss in the past but now impossible to
access it.

Am I missing something here or should I fall back to an older version
of firefox yet still?

Oh, I'm using a master build of Orca from around May 5th and latest
packages from Arch Linux.

Any ideas?
