Re: [orca-list] Anyone else experiencing Firefox 91 crashes?

["Hwaen Ch'uqi" <hwaenchuqi gmail com>]

Greetings All,

Yes, I have been having exactly the same issues and have had to switch
to chrome, where certain aspects of orca are reliable but slower.
Using the basic html version of gmail, typing in the "To:" field of
Compose always yields crashes, while the Subject and Message fields
work as usual. I did happen to notice that typing much more slowly in
the "to:" field, as well as in google search bars seemed to overcome
the crash. However, clicking on result links almost always crash the
system.
