In the Items for Offline Use dialog, the tree items (for each folder) inherit the accessible name of the tree instead of containing the name of the particular folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird.
2. Open the "Items for Offline Use" dialog: File menu -> Offline -> Download/Sync Now... -> Select... button.
3. Observe that the accessible name of the tree itself is "Choose mail folders and newsgroups for offline use.". This is determined from the associated label.
4. Examine the accessible name of one of the tree items.
5. Examine the first table cell (first child) beneath the same tree item.
Actual Results:  
The name of the tree item (step 4) is "Choose mail folders and newsgroups for offline use." The name of its first child (step 5) is the name of the folder represented by the tree item.

Expected Results:  
The name of the tree item (step 4) should be the name of the folder represented by the tree item; i.e. the same as the name of the first table cell (step 5).

This causes screen readers to report "Choose mail folders and newsgroups for offline use." for every tree item in this tree, which is not very useful.

The ID of this tree is "synchronizeTree".

why not declare primaryColumn inside the first if?  since you only need it  if you have columns, and so you save the useless construction in some cases?

what is this _col about? its a tree so there's only one "column" right?

This causes a regression in about:config. The items there are no longer read by NVDA when up and down arrowing. Alex, do you need a separate bug for this?
Marco, please file new bug for this.
