Instantiating Firefox A11y on GNOME

[David Bolter <david bolter utoronto ca>]

Hi all,

Please correct me if I'm wrong (and I hope I am), but I think distros
are still having a bit of a headache getting Firefox accessibility to
start up.  I personally am using the workaround Steve gave us here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460926#c4 on my install of
Intrepid (Ubuntu).

I'd like to see if we can solve this configuration (?) issue on list as
it seems it may involve a coordinated effort. In particular it would be
great it Brad and folks could connect with Ginn and folks :)

If anyone has a recent Firefox (nightly or trunk) with accessibility
working on a recent GNOME stack, and are NOT using the workaround above
please let us know. If this isn't happening we may need to reopen bmo
460926...
