Interesting idea, I'll keep that in mind. Got the same problem this morning, only found that this time I couldn't get away from the toolbar using VO at all. All I could use was tab and enter to navigate links, which is okay I guess, but I couldn't actually read any text that wasn't a link. Even weirder is that this only happened in full-screen mode; didn't experience a problem when not in full-screen (at least not yet). Not sure what that's about.
