Re: [orca-list] Orca and firefox find

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

I'm not sure it's the analogous thing to the chromevox incremental search 
however in Firefox I can press ctrl+f type imy string, hit the enter key, 
orca speaks what I have found and I can press F3 or ctrl+g to move to the 
next match.
This is how I'm quickly jumping to something I do know is on the page for sure.

Greetings

Peter
