You can root around in the archives but the short version is that for
many years the Mozilla team only supported the iAccessible2 API which is
not available on the Mac since nobody has bothered porting it. Most Mac
developers wouldn't bother with such a porting effort as the existing
Apple API works just fine. Recently some folks have started working on
adding support for the Apple accessibility API which is available in
Firefox nightly builds. Last I heard it was kind of working but not
ready for prime time. You can try it out yourself by downloading the
nightly build. Here is the announcement from last year:

hello everyone,
I decided to download and see if the new firefox for OS X is accessible. Guess
what, the app opens, but no windows and no access to its menus. I am already
frustrated with chrome (and their method of presenting accessibility) and
Safari seems to work fine on some pages and not on others.
so, does anyone have a work around to the firefox issue?
