Hi Jason,
To expand on Bill's comments below, the Sun mozilla/firefox accessibility team
has begun working specifically on firefox accessibility. Louie Zhao <louie
dot zhao at Sun dot com> is one of the key folks working on this. I've cc-ed
him on this message.
You wrote in your original message (attached) that you aren't getting anything
in the firefox you compiled for AIX, but are getting output from Ubuntu. I
believe there are specific compile-time flags needed to turn on some of the
accessibility machinery - Louie should be able to confirm this.
We've just begun tracking Firefox accessibility bugs; you can find our short
firefox-specific list at:

Hi Jason.
I'm asking around about what should be expected from Firefox. As you
say, it seems it should be expected to talk. Perhaps you can provide
some information from either Firefox or gnopernicus output.
There are plans to bring accessibility fixes into Firefox, but I don't
know the current status of that work. Certainly the goal is to improve
access of Firefox overall, beyond what today's Sun-Mozilla build can do.

Hi Bill,
But even in Ubuntu firefox talks. Though caret navigation isn't as
good as what JAWS does today, its still better than nothing.
The Accessiblity Modfied Mozilla will solve this problem? Is there
plans to bring the fixes into Firefox?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello,
I have Firefox compiled on my AIX box and am running gnopernicus but I can't
seem to get it to talk. Here are my steps
export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge
firefox
GTK Accessibility Module Initialized
=====================
Firefox starts fine but no talking at all. I then
export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridgeTEST
and ran and got that atk-bridgeTEST could not be found, which confirmed that
my modules were loading correctly from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules which
include
1)libatk-bridge.a and .la
2)libgail.a and la
(including some other accessiblity modules I assume)
Am I missing anything. I was looking through the gnopenricus logs and did
not see that this was a new feature from 0.10.4 to the current. I did
notice a post in August where a user was trying to use 0.10.4 and was having
the same problem. Bill asked for hte output and I did not see the repsonse
at this point.
Thanks,
Jason Grieves
