Yup, just tried it and they broke something. All I could reach was the
full screen button, close button etc. in the window chrome and none of
the actual browser controls or content. That's part of the fun in
playing with nightly builds. Some days you get the latest hot new
features and other days you get the latest hot new bugs.

Hi all, I've downloaded the latest nightly build of firefox which in my case is
16.0a1 but for reasons unknown it doesn't contain the voiceover support.
My point that I'm trying to make is that I red somewhere from the firefox
nightly that had support for VO was meant to be included by default from that
version onwards. I tried downloading the one that had this support again but
the link appears to of broken.
Can anyone download the latest version and comferm that the voiceover support
is missing?
I'm dissapointed. Sad smile.

For real information I suggest you keep tabs on the developer's blog here:

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.
