Marcio, Thanks. In searches for "Cutie" and Mozilla or Firefox, at least an extension comes up in the search results. I'd never heard of that, either, but the mystery is solved! --

Nothing at all :)
"Cutie" is just a form I used to talk about Mozilla in itself. In
fact it should be "cutie" but you know, typos can and will happen
when you're in a hurry :)

OK, I've gotta ask,
because I just cannot figure it out, and I've tried: What is
"Cuttie Mozilla"?
This is either an adjective or version I'm unfamiliar with and
it's driving me crazy!

Although it shouldn't happen on products that are
supposed to be accessible.

Subject: Re: [chat] Cuttie Mozilla seems to have changed (again) the
options' window
This is not by any means odd at all. I see this all the time on
websites on mac and sometimes on windows as well. I's anoying but it is what it
is.

Hey folks, So the subject speaks for
itself. Some of you may remember me from the other thread about the
add-ons' section, isn't it? Well, here we are again. Now, though, the
situation is in fact at least a little bit better. Our dear mozilla, on
what I believe to be the latest Firefox, changed in a way the options' window,
where we have general, privacy and such. At first, I was about to post here
asking for a workaround for this one, but I found it myself. The story is
like that: being on said window, one can't, for their life, arrow through the
options anymore. Well, at least it was what I was getting. Then, don't know
why, but as a last resort I tried to play with the window using NVDA in focus
mode. Guess what? It worked! In fact, I believe it worked because now in
this very same window you have a search field where you can type in parts of
what you want to get, for example "priva" for privacy. But, this field
actually is also a submenu! No, you haven't read it wrong. It's a field and
a submenu, as NVDA reports it. I'll have to say, that's the first time I've
seen something like that. Quite odd, if you ask me. Well, all of this
to say that, if you getting the same as I got, then justdo the NVDA focus mode
thing or the equivalent on your screen reader, tab through the screen and then
at some point you'll be able to arrow through the options like we are used to
do.

I've had never seen something like this, really.
There's always something new to learn :)
