User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100904 Firefox/4.0b6pre Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100904 Firefox/4.0b6pre While using the Orca screen reader and the 4.0 betas of Firefox, the context menus under links do not speak. If one press the application key or the Shift+F10 key, the menu pops up and one can visually see the options and you can arrow up and down this list and execute accordingly but none of the menu items are spoken from Orca. I did a comparison of exposed events as seen by the Orca screen reader from Firefox 3.5.9 and the 4.0 beta versions. Do note that FF 3.5.9's context menus work perfectly. I have the two output listings which I will attach to this bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to any page that has links on it with Firefox 4.0 Beta or later and use arrow keys to position caret on the link. Note that one should be monitoring for accessibility (a11y) event exposure to see this or run Orca screen reader and listen for appropriate speech. 2. Press either the Application or Shift+F10 key to open the link's context menu. 3. Use arrow keys to move up and down this menu. Actual Results: Menu appears to work visually and hitting enter key actually selects the right choice but the necessary a11y events are not being passed on so Orca screen reader cannot speak the items. Expected Results: Exposed the necessary a11y events so that the a11y infrastructure can notify the Orca screen reader that focus was changing in the context menus. I used the debug facilities in Orca to dump what it sees while working in these menus. I have one from when I was running Firefox 3.5.9 and the menus talk fine with that version I then captured the same output information while running several beta versions of Firefox 4.0 and many a11y events were missing, causing the menus to be silent. I will attach the file listings to this bug.
Version: unspecified → Trunk
First of two debug outputs from Orca.
This is the second debug output taken from Orca while Firefox 4.0 was being used. With both of these outputs, look for when Orca says it's speaking text and notice what is different when FF 4.0 is running.
