Thanks a lot for the help!Hi!I looked into about:config and I saw nothing relevant. And yes, I tried switching tabs, it just stops reading when focus firefox window. Once that used to happen with firefox stable, in Ubuntu, but now in Fedora is only happening with Firefox Developer Edition (it might be because I installed with flatpak?). Anyway, firefox stable (the one provided by the distribution official repository) appears to work normally with Orca, so I think I might test stuff with it and not with the Dev Edition.Em seg, 3 de abr de 2017 às 18:57, Jeremy Lincicome <w0jrl1 gmail com> escreveu:Germano,
When in the Firefox window, after you start Orca, have you tried just using alt tab to move out of and then back into the window? I wonder if that will work for you.
Thanks,

I think this rather an problem in orca and more a heuristic in firefox to disable AT Toolkit support if not needed to save Performance. if no AT (like an screenreader or magnifier) was detected if you run firefox or Thunderbird they assume that you dont need it.
I think, but not totaly sure, this can be forced in about:config in firefox.
