With the builds Hubert prepared of 3.0.5 with only the patch provided in
#460926, Firefox doesn't appear in the accessibility hierarchy with and
without NO_AT_BRIDGE=1.  

Using the 1.9.1 branch builds you've provided, I get:

+ firefox-bin					application
  + Shiretoko Alpha Start Page - Shiretoko	frame
    - [empty]					redundant object

If I add NO_AT_BRIDGE=1, I get the full hierarchy as expected.

So my question is, are there more patches than just bmo #460926 that
contribute to this working?  Additionally, as a distro, are we expected
to ship NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 in the wrapper script to get this to work?

Best,
