Re: up/down arrow navigation in NVDA

Due to a long-standing bug in Firefox, NVDA goes into focus mode upon launch if Firefox has the primary focus. This essentially means that you can only navigate by using tab and shift+tab keys. To prevent this, make sure that an application other than Firefox has focus when you start NVDA. Restarting Firefox when NVDA is running also resolves this issue.
