If there are several (roughly 15 or above) downloads in the Firefox Downloads list, NVDA becomes very sluggish, and the only way to improve performence is to remove all downloads from the list. Tested with several other screen readers, and I can't seem to produce the same results. This only happens on my netbook which i guess is understandable; it doesn't have as many resources as desktop PC's, but JAWS seems to manage fine, not that that says much.
This was tested on a netbook with 1 GB of RAM and a 1.33 GHZ processer, and Firefox 3.6.8 with XP SP3, however performence was the same with older versions as well.

Please define "several".

Marco, I seem to remember there being some bug in Firefox related to this. Am I dreaming or is this true? However, in that case, I've no idea why it affects NVDA and not JAWS.

Replying to jteh:

Please define "several".

By several, we're talking 15 or more items in the list, which as you can see is quite a small number.

Can anyone still reproduce this with recent Firefox versions (where the download manager UI has been redesigned)?

No response from anyone else, and we (nor Mozilla) can reproduce this any more. Closing.

Unrelated, but #4417

I have a fix, is this still occurring?
