Firefox like any other application can be made to be accessible just like any other application. I'm not sayig that all of it will be accessible, but they don't have anything close.

Gather from where? Your statement assumes following the Apple Accessibility API is straightforward for web content and functionality that hasn't been introduced to WebKit yet, that the Apple Accessibility API has everything required, and that VoiceOver is bugfree. You might want to review the blocker bugs for VoiceOver support linked from Aaron's bug post. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mac:Accessibility_Tasks#Details_about_VoiceOver_and_OS_X_issues "Ignores notifications" in particular sounds like a direct blocker for Live Regions. Note the mention of acknowledged but unfixed bugs in VoiceOver. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342989 is the rollup ticket. Obviously, anyone who reckons they can fix these problems can offer to contribute code. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
