FWIW, Hello Firefox and friends aren't even easily accessible under
NVDA (I repeatedly mention NVDA since IIRC they received funding
directly from Mozilla so I'd think they were the gold standard in
screen reader/Firefox combos, and would expect that if something
wasn't a Firefox issue then it'd work under NVDA.) Toolbar focus is
almost certainly a Firefox issue that Mozilla should resolve on both
Linux and Windows.
Unfortunately, my current Orca master/Firefox 43 combination isn't
reading most alerts. I'm building a web app with ARIA alerts, and
these do appear to be read. It uses web RTC, and the Share Camera
alert does appear to be focusable. But every attempt I've made to
install addons just results in silence, and I can never tab to the
alert that gives Firefox permission to install them.
I've also noticed in the web RTC camera share dialog that the
audio/video submenus that allow for selecting between camera and
audio sources aren't presented as popup buttons. I suspect that's
probably an upstream Gecko issue.

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.
