@jscholes@dragonscave.space Not at all to detract from your point because I totally agree, but I (and the rest of the Firefox accessibility team) are at least trying our best to not allow Firefox to be a part of that trend. To that end, are you seeing the browse mode transition bug you mentioned with Firefox? I haven't seen it or heard of it, which is why I'm asking. I can't help with Thunderbird unfortunately; very different part of the organisation where I have no involvement or influence.

@jcsteh@aus.social @jscholes@dragonscave.space The main difference is that you yourself use Firefox daily with NVDA, and if you introduce a major bug that tests don't catch yet, you'll notice it quickly yourself. When I look at chromium and the bug it introduces and sometimes keeps around for months or even years, it becomes apparent that there are no serious screen reader users on those teams to be annoyed by the bugs. Like all the hideous text bugs Chromium has on the various platforms. And no, even at its worse days, Firefox text bugs were never so annoying. ;-)

@jcsteh@aus.social No, I haven't had it happen with Firefox. But I don't currently use Firefox frequently enough for that to represent very useful data. Still, good to know you haven't heard of it happening there.
