Hi
I'm no expert in the Firefox codebase, but isn't iAccessible2 used in both
Windows and Linux by NVDA and Orca respectively? If so, NVDA can report
these events. Is there a disparity between what IA2 can report on these two
platforms, or do I have it all wrong?

ATs know here that the heading is clickable (you can check with
accerciser that the accessible object implements the Action interface
with the click action).

However the issue here is that Firefox is not telling ATs that that
element is expandable (so he can click on it to expand it). This can
be fixed including the aria-expanded="true"/"false" property.

I have filled the firefox bug here with a patch:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646107

However orca is currently not speaking expandable states for regular
elements, so I have also filled an orca bug with patch at:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646139

Finally, I think it would be nice to add a hook to orca Geck
structural navigation to bind Enter to the click action (not left
click synth) if the object has the click Action. What do you think?
