Hi Joe, FF 2 does not work with Orca, it never has. This was intentional, since FF 2 did not offer the same accessibility infrastructure. FF 3 works with Orca on Ubuntu 8.04. The betas of FF 3 also worked on that platform. Thanks for the reply, Peter. > On Wed, 2008-07-30 at 12:56 +0200, Peter Laursen wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Firefox 3.0 does not work with Orca.
