Well Chip, I certainly am not the techie that you are, but I've
wondered for a while, especially since scripts were introduced in WE,
if scripting doesn't inherently contribute to instability of screen
readers generally. I mean, is it possible that even the fish wouldn't
be a bit more stable without them? Hey, don't get me wrong, I really
like the convenience of scripts. They really do make things more
convenient, and even make things possible that wouldn't be otherwise
with certain applications, but I'm wondering if one of the side
effects isn't unstable or unpredictable behavior that can only be
explained by an active scripting engine. Now understand, I'm not
making a declaration, just posing a question. And even if what I
suspect is in deed true, would any of us want to go back to life
without them.
I will probably have to do the tear down build up routine with the
scripts to eventually get to the bottom of this one, and I'm not even
sure that will be the answer because I was really under the
impression that getting rid of the detect shortcut keys script had
been the culprit, and even provided myself with a logical explanation
as to why this might be. I thought that maybe the use of the
ctrl-shift-r keys might possibly be interrupted by that particular
script in order to determine if that key combination might represent
a shortcut of some kind. At least, that is what I would think that
might be the function of that script, simply judging by its stated on
its face purpose. Anyway, this little project will give me a little
bit more to do with my time, although I can think of better things
<g>. Anyway, I really do appreciate your input on this matter.
Thanks much,
Larry

Hi Larry,
I want you to know I'm having my own issue, nothing to do with firefox, but
it acts just like yours. it stopped happening when I disabled scripting,
and when I enabled the scripts one by one, it never came back.
this happened after an embarassing episode where I wrote a demonstration
script which caused it to happen on my vista pc and sent it to GW, who of
course did not see it happen, but I think they got a little irritated with
me.
still, there's something about running scripts, which can seem to make
things go wrong, without it seeming to be any particular script.

Subject: Well, I guess not after all
OK, the latest is as follows. I thought I had solved the problem by
unloading that detect shortcut script, but when I restarted Firefox, the
problems returned. I immediately went back to the script menu and turned off
scripts, and everything returned to normal. Then I turned scripts back on,
and everything still continued to function normally.
Looks like I'll have to continue to go through this little ritual every time
I want to run Firefox, that is unless any of you can possibly determine
logically from my description of the problem just what might be the
alternative. Oh well, I guess it was just too good to be true.
