What are the Orca bug report numbers for all of your issues? Have these been
identified by developers as Mozilla problems and reported as Mozilla bugs?

In my experience, the Mozilla project is quite responsive when
accessibility-related bugs are properly reported.

Which version of Firefox are you running? Do you have the Orca focus tracking
options set correctly in the Firefox-specific Orca preferences? If you're not
sure, please take up the issues on the Orca mailing list. For Orca 2.30.2 and
Firefox 3.6 and above, the default focus tracking doesn't need to be changed;
but it does have to be switched if you're running Firefox 3.5 or earlier with
Orca 2.30.

Orca has some known performance issues and there's a project under development
to address these. Some of the funding is coming from Mozilla if I remember
correctly.

My own experience of running Firefox with Orca has been markedly better than
yours.
