Hy,
Luke, sorry the lot of questions, but I not see clear following problem
related:
In Firefox 4 have following bug, with I think not fixed yet (status not
showed this):
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619002
In Orca list I see following letter, the thread is Firefox 4.0 Rc2
initialy inaccessible with Orca:

It is my understanding that at least several distros will not be making
the switch to AT-SPI2 in their upcoming release. Please push it.
Thanks!

Not clear me when next Firefox 4.0 release will be containing the
required fix for bug 619002, I need upgrade for at-spi2 to use full
adwantages the another atk components related fixes, for example if I
want hear the backspaced characters in an edit box?? Now the backspaced
characters prewious is not echoed with Firefox 4 with Orca screen
reader, this is an important function of course.
With Natty now containing Firefox 4.0 Rc2, but will be containing
required atk fixes? Natty classic gnome session is based for GNOME 2.32
or based with GNOME 3.0?
What will be happening for example oldest popular releases (Maverick and
Lucid) when Ubuntu Mozilla maintainer team will be replace Firefox 3.6
with 4.0 release with oldest releases? This situation need upgrading
distro level with gnome-orca package, but possible upgrading another
components with distro level to not lost accessibility functions after
this big change is doing with Ubuntu Mozilla team?
For example, now Natty containing at-spi 1.32.0 release.
