Mozilla doesn't enable support for the accessibility API unless it detects
that it is active. The method that it uses has changed, but that took place
quite a while ago now.

My suspicion is that the Mozilla programs are checking and failing to discover
that at-spi is active. There may be a variable that you need to set somewhere,
but I can't remember how it works. I hope this at least puts you on the right
trail. If no one here has the details, try asking on the mozilla accessibility
list.
