Re: [orca-list] is it just me, or is thunderbird much faster now?

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I am using Thunderbird 32 stable and I haven't noticed much more 
improvements than what Joanie managed to implement in orca during gnome 
3.14 development cycle.
I am afraid Mozilla's resources are much more limited when it comes to 
accessibility than they used to be in the past.
They are now focusing on Firefox OS accessibility with windows and 
android as a second class citizens on their radar and mac and linux 
accessibility will only receive common multi platform accessibility and 
performance related improvements I am afraid.

This is just my interpretation of what I have seen recently so hopefully 
I am mistaken.

Greetings

Peter
