Hi
Well, there's no IA2 on the Mac as far as I'm aware, there's apple
accessibility APIs instead.
As to whose problem it is... that's a point of debate. Mozilla claims
apple aren't doing enough, apple claim their APIs are fine and that
mozilla is taking a my way or the highway attitude. Take your pick :).
Personally, though I don't know whose problem it is, I suspect it's
both. I will say this, Mozilla came off very standoffish in their blog
post about this, almost as though they believed they should be able to
have their run of the Voiceover codebase. They even went so far as to
say that Apple needs to open source Voiceover. Here's the blog post:

Good evening Jacob,
Is this a xul problem, or is it an IA2 problem? If Voiceover were
to support IA2 then I would guess that mozilla applications would
work with Voiceover. I could stop using XP, other than for
development, if VO supported Firefox / Chatzilla.
Thanks,
Everett

Hi
All mozilla software uses the same xul framework, so they all are
inaccessible with VO at this point.

Good evening,
Does Thunderbird work with VO, or is it the same problem as Firefox?
Thanks,

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that
cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be
impossible to get at or repair.
