Re: [orca-list] Another pain point: how do I reach Firefox alerts?



Hello,

Firefox alert appear to be focusable and when counting the tab order they usually follow right after the address bar. So when I am expecting an alert I am pressing alt+d to go to the address bar and then pressing tab key from there in order to land on the alert. This include Remember password alert, web visum alert, install addon alert, popup window blocked alert, allow access to your Camera / microphone alert and more of this kind.

Greetings

Peter

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.
