hi
You can usually get to them by tabbing from the address bar. THis
doesn't always work, but it usually does. Orca doesn't usually read
them, at least in my experience it does. Imo it should, but I'm not
sure if this is an orca issue or a firefox one. This goes for the
thunderbird alerts as well. Thunderbird prints a notification
whenever new mail is recieved, but orca can't read them.
This is either because it doesn't use libnotify, meaning it's not
just another standard desktop notification or orca needs special
code to read them. I'm not sure.
Thanks

Howdy,
I think Orca usually reads these alerts when they pop up, however,
there is no way I know of to actually focus them. It would be nice
to have a way to get to them, and also to "Hello Firefox".
Thanks

Something else I'm having a hard time with
under Orca master and Firefox 43.0./3.
I can't reach the various alert bars that appear at the tops of
pages. At the moment I have 2, one asking if I'd like to enable
search suggestions and another prompting me to install an addon.
These aren't in the tab order, nor can they be reached with
f6/ctrl-f6/alt-f6. I also can't route the mouse to them and
simulate clicks on the various affirmative actions.
Is there some other trick to accessing these? Under Windows/NVDA
they weren't always apparent but they almost always appeared in
the tab order. Further, they were always read when they
appeared, and now I'm only noticing them using flat review. I
use Passifox to interface with Keepass, for instance, and if my
Keepass process ever crashed I'd immediately hear an alert that
the Keepass connection was lost right when it happened. But
under Linux these alerts just sit there unspoken. Is there an
upstream Gecko bug tracking this that I can follow, assuming the
problem is upstream?
Thanks.
