Nightly testers, stay on the 27th of August build if you're using a screen reader on Windows!

Hello there!

If there are people on this list using the nightly builds with a screen 
reader (a program that reads web pages out loud to the blind) on 
Windows, please be aware that the nightly builds starting August 28, 
2010, are currently broken when it comes to creating virtual buffers. 
Basic Microsoft Active Accessibility is working.

The reason is the landing of Bug 130078 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130078>, which caused the 
accessibility API support to regress. See bug 591874 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591874> for the discussion 
and to observe the development of a fix.

If you want to continue testing the nightly builds, stay on the August 
27, 2010 build for now. I will let this list know when the bug has been 
fixed and it is safe again to use the latest and greatest.

Thanks,
Marco
