[orca-list] need testing for a Firefox bug fix



Hi all,

So Trevor and I have made a fix for the Firefox issue where it doesn't detect that accessibility is enabled on GNOME 3:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693343

Currently, the fix is in trunk (the Firefox 12 tree) and aurora (the tree that will become Firefox 11) but not the Firefox 10 beta. Getting changes into aurora and beta requires extra approval, and Mozilla developers are fairly conservative about what they allow in.

Anyway, one of the Mozilla accessibility developers thinks that testing from the GNOME accessibility community might help get the patch landed into beta, so if anyone would like to test a build with the patch and comment on the bug with the distribution/version that you tested with, then that would be welcome. This applies whether you're using GNOME 2 or GNOME 3--it needs to not introduce regressions for GNOME 2, which in theory it shouldn't.

Anyway, you can get a nightly Aurora 911) build that includes the fix at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/

Thanks,
-Mike G-
