[RWP] Can it be; Things Seem to Run more Reliably on NVDA?

[Scott Chesworth]

Not a clue man, sorry. If it's only in Firefox that you don't get the
beeps, perhaps they've changed how they're exposing progress bars or
something? Tbh, I switch those back to spoken feedback in NVDA anyway,
so haven't noticed a difference. Firefox seems to be running like junk
in general here though, has been for the last couple of releases.
