Perhaps you would like to try fall back plan using Firefox 52 ESR
and see how it works.
After installed, you can press Alt+F2, type firefox-esr and press
enter.
If it works then you may create shortcut afterward.
From what I know, the newer version Firefox still has some
accessibility issues but they're working on it.
Wo, then I'm above you. I'm running 3.26.0. not 3.18 anything.
This is indeed Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Desktop, and Firefox version
57.0.1 64 bit. The steps I'm using to try selecting text are:
1. Navigate to a website of my choice, and be sure I'm in
browse mode, not focus mode.
2. go to the beginning of a line of text by arrowing down to
the line of text, then pressing home to get to the beginning of
the line.
3. Press shift+down arrow to select that line of text.
Expected result, Orca should read to me what is selected.
Actual result, text indeed is selected, but Orca is still
remaining silent.
So yeah, if some of you are actually getting this to work where
Orca isn't silent, and does indeed ell you what is happening as
you select, then I've no idea how you're getting it to work with
Orca 3.26.0
Realize this is not Orca Master or anything of sort. That's why
I said, I don't know how to update it, but was hoping you all
could give me the exact commands based on my above
configuration.
Also, if my problem is that Firefox needs updating for this to
work, then I'll need those commands, as I admittedly don't know
how to update Firefox short of doing so through apt, or through
software center which both clame it's totally up to date.
Chris.
