282094 - First time browsing with Gnpernicus to nytimes.com invoking pop-up ad blocker kills speech

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Korn]

1. Log into Solaris 10 FCS (on x86/x64 though I rather doubt that matters).
2. Launch Gnopernicus with speech and magnification
3. Launch mozilla for the first time for this user
4. Go to 'www.nytimes.com' (for the first time as this user)
5. A popup ad appears, and Gnopernicus starts to speak about it
6. Press NumPad 7 (thinking it was flat review) - the title bar is read
7. Press NumPad 2 (thinking you are going to continue flat reviewing).  Speech
is now dead.

please always include what build you're using.  a bug report is not useful
without it.

reopen if you can provide needed information

Please reopen this bug.  Reporter specified this information:

"Solaris 10 FCS (on x86/x64 though I rather doubt that matters)."

That means Sun-patched Mozilla 1.7, the exact source tarball can be obtained
from the Beijing Mozilla group.

[Andrew Schultz]

ok.  it'd help to test with a more recent build (1.8b1).  does this happen with
any pop-up?  An html testcase would help.

Comment 4

[Bill Haneman]

BTW a "more recent build" using 1.8 is probably not a good idea, as the
accessibility patches are only partially integrated.  The 1.7 versions are the
ones where gnopernicus can be used reasonably well.

Related to meta bug 163832?

Comment 6

MozillaAS v1.7.x is not supported anymore.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?
