 Hello.
 When one starts the Tor Browser in 3.0A2, one cannot read the page using
 screen reading software for the blind. That software works well with
 Firefox, I'm a bit confused about why it is not working with the release
 in the TBB. It worked fine with that version in the latest general release
 of TBB 2.x. This makes the product unusable for blind users. You may wish
 to try reproducing with the free NVDA screen reader from nvda-project.org.
 This is available as a portable install if that's of any help in making
 things faster.
