I just downloaded Firefox 78 which will become the next ESR version of Firefox and hopefully I can see these rotors in action there. It would be disappointing if the ESR version gets stuck with only partial VoiceOver support as enterprises will be using it for at least a year forward.

At this time voiceover just says there are no menu options available for each category, I think that support will be coming later this year. Original message: SO DOES THE ROTOR BRING UP NOTHING IN ANY CATEGORY, OR NOTHING AT all or is every list in it blank? Also, is this the production or beta?
