Firefox 57 will be less chatty to screen readers in some situations (marcozehe.de)

Btw, I'm not OP but I amPrincipal Scientist at Mozilla, and I'm happy to take feedback back to the Accessibility team (or I suppose anywhere else) if that's useful to anyone. Not that /u/fastfinge won't too, but it seems worth mentioning.

Good to know! There are a lot of good folks working with Mozilla whom I admire, James Teh just being the latest one.
Unfortunately, I can't use Firefox myself. Chrome is so much faster these days. However, it's only because of accessibility techniques premiered and developed by Mozilla that Chrome is accessible at all. So I wish Mozilla the best. Perhaps when the latest multithreading improvements get released, and the addons I depend on get rewritten, I'll be able to return to the Firefox fold in a couple years.

Slightly OT, but do you know if the new Firefox engine and all that work on process separation and so on will be compatible with accessibility? I see that for the time being if accessibility is in use the old system is used instead.
