I use windows speech recognition (not dictation, different thing) when my wrists are acting up, but firefox always immediately turn unresponsive when i turn it on. i can't switch tabs or interact at all with the browser. Are there solutions for this? If my wrists were slightly worse i would probably just stop using firefox :[
