Re: [orca-list] orca not speaking with firefox nor iceweasel on Debian 8

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I did run the gsettings command that I thought did the trick, or at least did so in the past, but wonder if 
I'm missing some bit of gnome infrastructure 
that I got automatically with Arch-linux, and would have had on other distros I've used fluxbox on because 
they had mate or gnome or unity installed 
along side of fluxbox. 
Arch is the only distro where I've built my fluxbox from scratch with no other installed desktop environment, 
guess I can try going through installed 
package lists and see what jumps out at me, but this may be some package I've never heard about specifically.
