I've had a similar issue with Firefox in Gentoo. They actually compile
Firefox without Gconf support to reduce
dependencies. <http://bugzilla.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373605>

After removing --disable-gconf from the Ebuild and recompiling the beast,
it got accessible again. Seems like a11y support in Xulrunner only is
loaded if the /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility Gconf key is set to
true. Probably Arch disabled Gconf support for Firefox as well. At least
for Gentoo I'll add a comment to the above mentioned bug.

The official Mozilla binaries will most probably work as they are
compiled with Gconf support.

take care
