Re: [orca-list] Orca and multiple tabs in firefox

[Fernando Botelho <Fernando Botelho F123 org>]

Hi Joanie,


Is it just me, or there are unlabeled buttons on the Bugzilla page?


I went to see if I could be supportive by adding myself to the list of 
people following the bug or something of that sort, but found buttons 
which are not labeled. Since I have little experience with bugzilla, it 
becomes more of an issue for me than for more experienced users.
