Re: [orca-list] how come firefox 3.6 is suddenly accessible?

[Bill Cox <waywardgeek gmail com>]

Try navigation on this web page:

http://billrocks.org/tabbing.html

When it opens it should announce "First heading heading level one."
Press the 'h' key to move to the second heading, with should announce
"Second heading heading level one."  Now press Tab.  It should say
"third link" if your Firefox is working properly.  If it instead says
"first link", then your browser has the caret navigation bug caused by
an error in set_caret_offset.  Let me know what happens.

Thanks,
Bill
