I think that it took cooperation on both sides to get firefox to work for
windows, the screen reader vendors had to access the document object model,
but firefox had to provide a way to do that. Apparently, the version of
firefox for linux also works with the orka screen reader. I'm not sure if
firefox provides dom access on the mac, and voiceover just doesn't use it,
or if this capability is not even in firefox for the mac.

why do they never make mac version accessible though
it is always windows products made accessible, never the mac versions
they know the accessibility models exst, so wh not use them

That's really a shame, especially considering all the accessibility

So FF hit its record with about 8M downloads in 24 hours. I downloaded
a copy but it's totally inaccessible. I can get to the window chrome
and the pull-down menus, but that's it. The whole content area does not
exist as far as VO is concerned.
