Firefox 3 not accessible with Orca

[Peter Laursen]

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.
