Steps to reproduce:
- Open this URL in Firefox:
data:text/html,<input><button>hi</button>
- Tab until the button is focused.
- Move to the previous navigator object (desktop NVDA+numpad4, laptop NVDA+shift+leftArrow)
Actual behavior:
No speech and this exception:
ERROR - scriptHandler.executeScript (09:05:07.874) - MainThread (18464):
error executing script: <bound method GlobalCommands.script_navigatorObject_previous of <globalCommands.GlobalCommands object at 0x03E03B50>> with gesture 'NVDA+numpad 4'

RuntimeError: no active caret in this object
Expected behavior:
NVDA should say: "edit blank"
System configuration
NVDA installed/portable/running from source:
Installed
NVDA version:
alpha-21810,db664bef
Windows version:
Win 10 Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.782)
Name and version of other software in use when reproducing the issue:
Firefox Nightly 88.0a1 (2021-03-03) (64-bit)
More Info
This regression was introduced in 65c5b59. I think the issue is that in Firefox, when an object isn't focused, it has no caret, so the TextInfo throws a RuntimeError. We previously caught all exceptions when trying to get the selection. Now, we only catch NotImplementedError.
This doesn't happen in Chromium because Chromium seems to maintain a caret (at least for a11y) even when the object isn't focused.
