Longer answer:
They are working on it. They need to work on mapping their accessibility API 
to the Macintosh accessibility API. As of last October, they did have 
someone working on this, but I cannot remember his name.
They take a similar approach under Windows and Linux. The windows 
implementation is fairly complete and stable, but the screen reader vendors 
have not implemented full support for firefox accessibility in their 
products yet, especially with respect to live regions
Under Linux, the orca folks are busy as we speak making Firefox better under 
orca. Haven't tried it yet though, because still having trouble installing 
linux. Its free (linux that is), but you pay (a lot) in other ways.

It does not work with VoiceOver. Firefox uses its own GUI system.
