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

[Pradip Chandra Sikdar]

I think, FF has broken something for us which is stopping NVDA to beep.
In IE 8, we can get some short of feedback from our screen reader about 
how much the page has loaded. but in IE 9 and IE 10, we cannot hear 
anything, even if you check the status bar. someday ago, my friend 
recommended me to install "Classic Shell IE" and now I am getting the 
progress announcement in percentage on my IE 10.
