After reloading plugins with CTRL+NVDA+F3, NVDA does not enter browse mode in new tabs or after clicking links from existing pages with IE and Firefox. Already opened tabs seem to be uneffected until a link is selected.
You can only navigate the page as if you are in focus mode, regardless of toggling the state with NVDA+Space.
restarting IE, Firefox, or NVDA fixes the issue.


Steps to reproduce:

Open IE or Firefox.
Go to some web page.
Reload plugins with CTRL+NVDA+F3
Open a new tab, and go to another webpage, or select a link from an open page.
Attempt to navigate.


Expected results:

Ability to navigate new page in browse mode.

Actual results:

Unable to enter browse mode.
