Re: [orca-list] Orca can no longer identify clickables in Firefox 99 nightly

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi again.

I just did a quick test using gnome.org:
* Firefox 97 + Orca 40.3: 3 items found, all nameless sections
* Firefox Nightly + Orca master: 3 items found, all nameless sections

In contrast, with Chrome I see 6 items, but I don't think that's a
dramatic difference in comparison. Regardless, given that older, stable
versions of Orca + Firefox give the same results as the
nightly/unstable versions, I don't think there's a regression. Or if
there is, it's been around for quite some time. If you're seeing
different behaviors than what I describe above, I need more details.

Thanks!
