I have been testing out the Mozilla Firefox browser and IE browser getting them to go to the same webpage. In IE it keeps up with my typing, but in Mozilla there is a lag and it even omits letters. I know that the web address is correct because the correct page loads. It doesnt seem to lag in Internet Explorer only in Firefox for some reason. I am going to the exact same sites and both pages seem to load quickly in each browser, it is just that Mozilla lags when reading the letters out to me. I am using a 1.6Ghz netbook, 1GB ram with Windows XP home to test it with.

This is an issue with Mozilla firing too many events. We can try to improve the situation in NVDA, but this requires a huge rewrite of some of our core code, and from what I can determine, it won't even fix the issue completely.

The relevant issue in Mozilla is MozillaBug:414491.
Changes:
Milestone changed from 2010.2 to None

Replying to jteh:

Actually, the work is already done (see BZR branch: http://bzr.nvaccess.org/nvda/winEventsInprocess/). From my experience it also improves the situation when application such as firefox opens or closes (NVDA lags at that time probably due to a lot of events being fired).

The mentioned Mozilla bug still has status New, but I can't say I'm suffering from this problem.

It looks like there hasn't been any activity on that issue for a long time. @jcsteh Can you comment on whether you would be happy with this being closed?

I certainly haven't been troubled by this. I'd guess this has improved over the last few years due to changes to the way Mozilla coalesces events. We're also not hearing reports of users being hit by this. Closing as worksforme.
