Mozilla?

Hi
I've posted this to gnome-accessibility several times and gotten no response whatsoever. Has anyone gotten mozilla to work? I've tried on 5 distros now (fedora, 
debian, slackware, rh9, and gentoo) with no success. Here's the problem. It speaks the menus and title bar fine. However, as soon as I start to tab or arrow 
through a web page, one of two things will happen. First, it'll either bomb out with no error messages, not even on the x status console, or it will simply say 
nothing. In the cases where it's saying nothing, I know I'm moving through links, since I can hit enter and it will take me to a different part of the sight, but that 
isn't the best way to surf. It never stays stable for long anyway, it'll either bomb out eventually or lock my computer up so bad that even a ctrl+alt+del won't 
reboot. I've tried this on other computers too with the same result, Yes, mozilla is compiled with gtk2 and yes, it has accessibility support in it. I even built it from 
source to see if that would help, that didn't change the situation. What am I missing here? Do I need to recompile some gnome libs? Maybe I need CVS gnome 
2.6?

Hello Jacob and others!

I am not sure if it will help you or not but i played a litle with
mozilla 1.5 under win98. To get it work with jaws one should press
'f7' key just after starting mozilla. You also need to select a
"classical" theme. There were some other tricks but i can not recall
all of them at the moment.

With best wishes,

Sergey.

I have it on good authority that Mozilla still needs work, and that it's
going to get that work over the next few months.

PS: It seems you've gotten as far as anyone I know with Mozilla--perhaps
further than anyone.
