[orca-list] Firefox - Gaps in hiperlinks and the automatic forms mode

[Luciano de Souza <luchyanus gmail com>]

Hi listers,

Reading texts in Firefox, two problems disturbs the pleasure of the reading:

1. If I am in a text with a large numbers of hiperlinks like Wikipedia, 
for each of then, a gap of silence rises, interupting brefiely the 
reading. If the number of the hiperlinks is really big, it's more 
profitable to copy the text into Gedit and read it there.

2. When I am navigating by means of  arrows, often I come across edit 
boxes. Orca leaves the navigation mode to enter in forms mode. As it is 
not rare I want to follow the reading without typing anything in the 
edit box, I would prefer that forms mode was activated by user request. 
I don't know if Orca allows the manual entrance in the forms mode. If 
the answer is "yes", I would like to know how to disable the automatic 
forms mode.

I don't like the automatic forms mode, but I recognise this aspect is 
appreciated by many people. However, disregarding the personal 
preferences, there is another aspect disturbing the reading flow. If 
Orca is reading consecutive lines and a form is found, the automatic 
forms mode is activated, the cursor is placed in the begining of the 
edit box and the reading is suddenly interrupted. It's much probable 
that, in this hypothesis, the intention of users was to follow reading 
and paging down.

Using Orca 2.32.0, is there solution for this problems?

Regards,

Luciano
