Public bug reported:

Normal navigation using Orca and Firefox 28, after a while Orca will
become non responsive. The access keys an Orca user would normally use
such as H to jump to next heading or B to find next button stop working.
Orca is still aware that it is in Firefox and re-loading the Orca
preferences seem to fix the problem. Can not re-produce this outside of
Unity whilst using Gnome-shell and had previously tried downgrading
Firefox, that does not seem to fix the problem. To re-produce simply use
Firefox for a while with Orca openning links in new pages and closing
them for a couple of minutes, or typing in edit fields the edit text
will become unreadable and the bug will become apparent. I have also
raised this bug with Gnome-a11y on IRC and they seem to not be aware of
it therefore I think it is Unity specific.
