I am experiencing similar issues with a specific airline's online booking facilities, but I am not yet sure if the airline has made changes or whether it is the Window-eyes beta interface with Firefox. Also similar problems with Internet Explorer 9 but not as restricting as with Firefox.

It doesn't matter if it is the area for entering a web address, the search edit field reached by pressing Control+K, or an edit control on a web page. I cannot navigate or delete text. Pressing the left and right arrows or backspace or delete does not yield the expected result. I may hear a ding sound, a double ding sound, or a random letter. If my Seika braille display is showing text as I delete it, I can make sure I remove only the desired characters. However, if I am attempting to move through text, I have no idea where the cursor truly is. When I realized We and Firefox were not behaving as expected, I opened the WE control Panel. I noticed the Firefox set was not associated with Firefox. I was using the default set file. I believed I opened the Firefox set file and associated it with Firefox beta by saving the settings. Pressing Control+Shift+T informed me the Firefox set file was open, but not associated. Apparently, I don't know how to associate set files in the beta. Furthermore, I am not sure where to find the information in the beta's manual. With the Firefox set open, I retried entering text into several edit controls with the same results. I am currently entering desired text into Notepad, cutting it to the clipboard, and pasting the text into edit controls on a web page. This works, but it is inefficient. And furthermore,it is definitely not a technological advancement. Suzy If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
