This is due to a bug in liblouis which will hopefully be fixed in the next release. I'm ashamed to say that it was a patch from me trying to fix another issue that caused the bug. :) 


I observed a sluggishness in FF since braille is activated. Especially
on large sites, moving the virtual cursor causes some breaks of fluency
reading.
This is odd. There is some sluggishness in other areas of the braille code, but the virtual cursor should not be one of them. Nevertheless, you should test this again when this bug is fixed:

If you want to be certain that this is tested later, please file a ticket. Please test with both braille enabled and disabled (set the display to "No braille" to disable). 


It seems as if braille is displayed in a kind of structured mode, known
from Jaws. In some cases - word processing for example - it would be
better to switch to a line mode, also known from Jaws. Did you think
about this?
Yes. It should not show the object or context when working in a multi-line editable text field. Which word processor exhibits this problem? Can you please test with a multi-line document in wordpad and/or notepad? 

Thanks for your feedback.
