For distributions based on GNOME 3.4, I don't think there is really a good workaround.
For distributions based on GNOME 3.2, this shouldn't be a problem because there is a GSettings -> GConf bridge which works fine (well, it works fine in Ubuntu at the moment. I'm not sure about other distros). However, this got dropped for GNOME 3.4 here: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings- daemon/commit/?id=f4ef02038a1f57edf7a23ba91829f15cddfc7eff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857153 Title: Needs to get accessibility settings from GSettings Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in “firefox” source package in Oneiric: Fix Committed Status in “firefox” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Bug description: Luke mentioned to me in Dublin that the screen reader doesn't work with Firefox when accessibility is enabled. This is because Firefox is still using GConf to check if accessibility is enabled, when it really needs to be using GSettings. I've just realized this is still the case, so I assume that the screen reader still won't work by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/857153/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
