Orca switches between "browse mode" and "focus mode" when pressing "CapsLock +
a" (laptop layout).

I've tried a new user and it is indeed gone. I've purged the configurations
of orca (~/.local/share/orca) and firefox (~/.mozilla). For the "old" user,
the problem persists.
What other components are involved that might have stale state/configuration?
Thanks
