Re: [orca-list] Solus, Firefox and Orca missing features

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

Small clarification. Seamonkey behaves exactly as expected.

It's not Firefox isn't getting or processing the commands, because it 
is. It's that I'm not getting the results of those commands spoken as 
messages, for instance Orca+T for the time, or the browse/focus toggle 
status messages even though the mode is actually being toggled and I'm 
not alerted to the change in mode however which is completely throwing 
me off. I'm running a bone stock Firefox 90.0 from Solus's repos and 
this is the only browser


I'm not sure if there's an about:config setting I can change, I looked 
in Firefox's preferences for anything screenreader related and got zero 
results, so I'm not sure if it's something isolated to my system, or if 
Mozilla changed something on their end between the 89.X that shipped 
with Solus 4.3 and the 90.0 that the system upgrade updated Firefox to 
however.where it happens. I grabbed Seamonkey and Firefox ESR and both 
work flawlessly and exactly as expected.
