Hi John.

I've got good news and bad news.

This one I can reproduce. And while it is a consequence of how Firefox
renders offscreen/not visible text when authors set the width, I may be
able to hack around it safely and will try to do so.

Regarding this next one:

I can reproduce it. However, I cannot fix it. Looking at my debug.out,
when I tab to the Cancel push button I see this:

----------> QUEUEING FOCUS: [PUSH BUTTON | CANCEL] (0,0,0)
----------> QUEUEING OBJECT:STATE-CHANGED:FOCUSED [PUSH BUTTON | CANCEL]
(1,0,0)

In other words, two events saying an object of role push button whose
name is "Cancel" got focus. Compare that to what I see when I tab to
Preview:

----------> QUEUEING FOCUS: [PARAGRAPH | PREVIEW] (0,0,0)
----------> QUEUEING OBJECT:STATE-CHANGED:FOCUSED [PARAGRAPH | PREVIEW]
(1,0,0)

Preview claims to be a paragraph. Orca has no way of knowing it's
something else.

When I look at the associated markup, I see:

<input value="Cancel" title="Cancel" type="submit">

So that's how Gecko, and thus Orca, know Cancel is a button. In
contrast, for Preview I see:

<p tabindex="0" class="btnOrange preview" id="adbl-gift-previewbutton"
title="Preview"><span>Preview</span></p>

Audible can fix this via ARIA markup, setting the role of that paragraph
to "button". If they do so, Gecko will know it's a button and will pass
that information along to Orca. Since you are a paying Audible customer,
I encourage you to pass this information along to them so that they can
fix it.
