Hi: I aggree that this lack of functionality is frustrating, but it is not true that they have said nothing in response to people's questions about it. In fact, they did say, that Firefox actually broke that accessibility feature after, I believe, version 31. Whether we believe this or not, or whether we think that it is just an excuse for a lack of action, that doesn't matter. The fact is that GW Micro, or AISquared has responded. The people whom we should direct our anger or frustration toward are the people at Mozilla whose response to someone on this list who complained to them was to use another browser.
In order for Aisquared to make an application accessible, they need some cooperation from the developers of that application and, if I am reading the posts on this list correctly, they are not getting the cooperation from Mozilla.
