1 Firefox front-end bug 1132036 and related bug 1107695.
- This impacts users every day, especially when they want to try outnew features such as Hello or use social sharing services which only have stuff in the tool bar, or want to use the new Search UI. The latter may require toolkit/a11y collaboration to get the anon stuff working right.
2 front-end bug 633899
- When opening the in-content Settings, or Add-Ons manager, initial focus is on some unknown accessible object and one has to do an extra tab to get somewhere useful. Old content would put focus right in the list of tabs/categories, and in Add-Ons, this should put one on the first usable control.
3 front-end bug 1067446
- Provide a means for assistive technology users to know whether they're dealing with an info bar or door hanger. Related for doorhangers is also long-standing bug 653226, which appears in doorhangers frequently. We need to settle on a keyboard model for these split buttons and bring consistency into this thing.
4 core bug 473206 - "GetTextAtOffset returns wrong values for the current line if the source file contains carriage returns."
- and possibly other text-related bugs still lingering that cause our assistive technology partners grief.
5 Core ARIA stuff like aria-hidden, name calculation etc.

Other work that requires status updates.
