Using VoiceOVer navigation, (e.g., Control-Option-left or right arrow) to navigate webpages is very sluggish. For example, I start to navigate www.apple.com and for each press of Control-Option-right arrow, VOiceOver says "busy" for as much as 10 seconds before VoiceOVer moves focus to the next element. This issue has existed in FF for as long as I can recall and is why I have not used FF in the past; however, I have been wanting to try it out. I was hoping the new Quantum FF would yield a different experience. Is there anything I can tweak/do to improve the experience? There are some issues with getting typing feedback while in edit fields and the tab key does not speak anything as it is pressed. Although, these are secondary issues if you cannot use VoiceOver navigation to navigate websites. :) Any advice appreciated.
