Re: [orca-list] iceweasel 31 strangeness

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Frankly, I stopped using Iceweasel a couple of years back on my Debian 
box.  I opted instead to activate the Mint repositories and was able to 
get a recent version of Firefox with which Orca worked as expected.  
Might want to look into that.
