Sadly both of these browsers are not accessible. really the only option right now is firefox. like I said firefox on the Gnome desktop is very accessible. I just don't know why the xfce desktop along with the menu is accessible. I've also installed libreoffice and this is also accessible by default. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'm not sure what is different between firefox and thunderbird and the rest of the OS. Again any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks

have you tried chromium or opera as the web browser? That might fix it.

    Hello list,

    i'm a blind user and I use the Orca screen reader. I've been
    working on getting Orca to work with xfce. So far everything has
    been  going really well. So far I've been able to make the xfce
    desktop accessible along with the xfce menu and other programs
    such as pidgin. Here is a problem that I'm having. When I open
    firefox and thunderbird Orca can't read anything in these
    programs. Using the gnome desktop both of these programs  are very
    accessible. So i'm not sure what I could be missing. I noticed
    that there is a package firefox-gnome-support and this was already
    installed. I also installed gedit and this application was
    accessible without having to do anything to it. Any help would be
    greatly  appreciated. This would be a big boost for the blind
    community to have a light and fast desktop to use as an
    alternative to Gnome. Thanks for your time and help.
