Hy,

Luke, now Natty containing Firefox 4.0 b10 I think.
In Firefox 4.0 now have an important accessibility related bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619002

This bug producing if an user write an Edit box with Firefox and press 
Backspace key, he not hear the deleted character if using Orca. If this 
bug is not fixed before final Mozilla Firefox 4.0 release is published, 
possible doing an easy choose method to possible choosing old Firefox 
3.6 release with normal Ubuntu repository? I think this is producing 
problems now because Firefox locale extension files live in 
language-pack-xx-base packages, for example 3.6 hungarian locale 
extension files live in language-pack-hu-base package.
What time period supported Mozilla Firefox 3.6 release? For example if a 
Firefox upgrade happening with prewious Ubuntu releases if 3.6 release 
is not supported, and this bug is not fixed yet, users lost this very 
default function (spokening last deleted character) if using Orca.

Now for example Lucid have following similar packages with showing 
Firefox 3.6 source package:
firefox-3.5
firefox-3.6
firefox

What possible doing if this bug is not fixed before final release?

Attila
