Re: [orca-list] More on Orca and Firefox: possible freezing

[Tony Baechler <tony baechler net>]

I realize this is worth a grain of salt because I'm on Windows, but I can
reproduce the very long delay in tabbing to link on matrix.org with two
different screen readers and the latest Firefox.  Therefore, I think it's a
Firefox issue.  I would suggest upgrading to 38 and see if the problem
improves.  I have similar behavior when doing Google searches.  I attributed
it to a Firefox extension or my Windows screen reader, but now I'm not so
sure.  Mozilla is constantly making accessibility fixes, so I would think 27
is very out of date by now.
