For real information I suggest you keep tabs on the developer's blog here:
http://www.marcozehe.de/
although there hasn't been much since his April 30 post about VO being
in the nightly builds of Firefox:
http://www.marcozehe.de/2012/04/30/initial-voiceover-support-now-in-firefox-nightly-builds-for-mac-os-x/
he does mention an OSX accessibility meta bug which has all the known
issues attached to it so you can add more and/or read about the current
state of things here:

that is typical of mozilla and their software for OS X. I have sent them lots
of email explaining why they *NEED* to make firefox accessible on the OS X
platform and all I get back anymore is the canned response about thanking me
for my input, yadda yadda yadda.. incidentally, I have been doing this for
slightly more than 3 years. the first couple of times, I actually had a human
respond to me about keeping a separate code base, seeking access to apple's
entire source tree, etc. it really does look like they won't do much unless
they can get unfettered access to apple's source tree. apple did publish their
API standards and that is all they are required to do. I think it is also that
they want to use Apple's development environment without paying for the
privilege (it is not free, but the price is still cheap enough that I can
afford it).
It seems to me that mozilla needs to hear from every blind/VI user of OS X (and
not just by email).

Hi all.
I'm messing around with the nightly build of FireFox. I understood that this
was supposed to be at least partly accessible.
Seems to me that it's just as bad as it ever was. Might I be doing something
wrong? I don't see any HTML area, toolbar, scroll area, nothing. All I see are
buttons for close, full screen and zoom.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.
Matthew Campbell.
