Re: [orca-list] Help with a web site that freezes Firefox/Orca

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Vojta.

In short: I don't think you yourself can repair it.

We need one of two things to happen:

1. The browsers detect this sort of authoring and stop emitting over one 
thousand accessibility events per second for the duration of the page 
being opened.

2. The authors of the page stop doing whatever it is they are doing to 
trigger these vast number of ongoing updates.

Failing that, you might be able to work around it by disabling 
JavaScript for that site, but that might render the site in question 
unusable in a different way.

As far as the Orca side of things is concerned: Orca has to pay 
attention to the types of events in question because those events are 
needed to provide access to basic things like you writing an email or 
doing a web search. Orca is already working hard to detect floods and 
duplicate events and ignore them.

I'm really sorry! Hopefully the problem will get fixed soon!
