Re: [orca-list] Orca does not read authorization dialog when link is accessed from incoming email

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

If memory serves me, you reported a very similar issue several months 
ago. In that particular case, what I observed was that the authorization 
dialog wasn't focused. In other words, even without Orca running, I 
could not type in the dialog until I did one of the following:

1. Alt+Tab out and back in to Firefox, OR
2. Alt+F6 to switch the currently active window in Firefox, OR
3. Click on the dialog

Could you please tell me what happens if you use Alt+F6 instead of Alt+Tab?

If pressing Alt+F6 causes Orca to announce the dialog, that suggests to 
me that you were not in the dialog before. And if that's the case, that 
should be filed against Firefox. It's not an accessibility bug per se: 
The dialog should be automatically active.
