Hello, The last comment on bug #546068 recommends fixing this regression for Firefox 5, but there's no follow-up to indicate that this ever happened. As I understand it, this bug is the reason why, when I issue the tab or shift-tab commands in Firefox with Orca, it routinely fails to move the focus to the correct UI element. this really is the single most serious accessibility bug that I and other Linux users encounter with Firefox, so I'm wondering whether, assuming that it's still open, and given that it has been present for a long time now, it could be brought to the attention of whoever is the maintainer of the relevant module in Gecko, or at least someone who knows that code very well and who could write a patch which conclusively addresses the issue without introducing further regressions.
