Re: [orca-list] Accessing firefox alerts

[John G Heim <jheim math wisc edu>]

I think you ought to be able to reproduce this in firefox by going to 
any web site that allows you to log in. I also think you are right and 
that hitting F6 is the solution. I haven't tested it excessively but I 
think that works. I'm just glad this was not an obvious question. I'm a 
little surprised it isn't an FAQ.
