Hi Nolan.
The reason the existing Orca command to click on the current element
fails in Firefox was due to a bug in Firefox/Gecko in which setting the
caret wasn't causing items to be scrolled into view. That has recently
been fixed in Nightly. Have you tried it yet?
And the way the click command is supposed to work in Orca is to check if
flat review is active. If it's not (i.e. you're just reading/interacting
with the web page in browse or focus mode), it should click on the
current item. If you're using Firefox Nightly and not finding that,
please let me know.
HTH.
