Re: [orca-list] docs.microsoft.com page problems

Hi Michał.

I'm assuming that this is with Firefox as I'm not seeing any problems
with Chrome/Chromium.

In the case of Firefox, here's what seems to be going on: Some of the
headings have a child link which points to the heading. This looks like
a valid location to Orca so it attempts to set the caret there. Soon
after it does, Firefox destroys the accessible object associated with
the link. Then, because the heading is labeled by the now-destroyed
link, it loses its name. Orca was spitting up on all this object
destruction. I've added a number of sanity checks to prevent that from
happening. That won't make everything better, unfortunately.

I'll see if I can add some recovery smarts for this case, but we need
Firefox to not destroy these objects....
