Sorry, I guess I must have misread the original message. I thought he

As Joani says this was put in to orca for firefox a while ago.
I do much prefer the Orca presentation, and always left the nvda default 
alone so that an approximation of the webpage was spoken even if some 
was lost in the passing to the virtual buffer.
