Re: [orca-list] Clicking hotspot Links and Flat Review?

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

While we debate the philosophy of web design and user interfaces, are
there any ways we can get flat review going with Orca and the Mozilla
programs? So far, I cannot find any of these fake objects or hardly
any other text on websites with Orca's flat review.  I can use flat
review on other programs but not in firefox.
