As far as I am aware, the situation is as follows:

Because Firefox is a cross-platform browser, it has been very difficult for the 
developers to make the browser accessible to Voice Over users because Apple 
employs its own accessibility frameworks for Mac OS X. Therefore, the folks at 
Mozilla must create by hand all the accessibility functionality that Linux and 
Windows users have by default.

I know that the developers would welcome assistance in this, but I am not 
confident enough in programming yet to offer them this help.

I know that there are other, better qualified people on this list who could 
give you a better break down of the current situation, so if my info is 
incorrect or in any way in accurate, please feel free to set me straight.
