I used the following piece of code
---------------------------------------
  // Testing Menu For Accessibility
  <menu>
    <button label="Click Me"/>
    <menupopup>
      <menuitem label="Choice 1"/>
      <menuitem label="Choice 2"/>
      <menuitem label="Choice 3"/>
    </menupopup>
  </menu> 
----------------------------------------Open Inspect tool and click on
hightlight rectangle.Then move the cursor on to the button. then click on
"navigate to parent". watch mozinspect. State shows "focusable,". State should
show "focusable, haspopup".
Right now we have:
<menu>
  <button />
  <menupoup />
</menu>

And we are making it look like:
ROLE_MENUITEM -> ROLE_BUTTON

We need to figure out what it is supposed to be exposed as.

After visiting with a screen reader vendor, it looks like this might be just
fine the way we have it. Will check with more vendors.

We do support the HASPOPUP state now, for XUL buttons of type="menu" or
type="menu-button".
