 > I am affected by this too. I have run the test version. After several
 times it seemed like the connection was established, because the Firefox
 interface (accessible) showed up.

 noticeable has actually happened.

 Hi Rastislav Kiss,
 I attached my debug as well as you can probably see.  I'm not sure if it
 was very helpful though, because if I went to any web page for example
 google, the tab would keep crashing on me.  This was not before I was able
 to reproduce the "unknown" message from NVDA however.  Hopefully one of
 our logs will help.
