Re: [orca-list] A11Y in Icedove and Iceweasel

Best help you are going to be able to give them is to get them off of icedove and iceweasel and on to 
Thunderbird and Firefox via the Mint repository.  You have to add it to the /etc/apt/sources.list file and 
then you can get the latest FF and TB.  If this is not an option, it may be the multithreading issue 
discussed in prior threads here.

It seems it doesn't find some script bits in the log, maybe only gtk apps are beig affected?

There are some line with:
Could not import orca.scripts.apps.XXXX
and there's gail mentionned in some places

i don't know whether this can be the cause.
