Thanks for the explanation.
Would you mind elaborating on your statement that one pays in other
ways by using Orca? I've been considering adding Ubuntu to my IMac at
work because it apparently includes an accessible spreadsheet, so it
would be good to get a heads-up on any problems that I am likely to
encounter.

They are working on it. They need to work on mapping their

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.
