Steps to reproduce:

Our website uses style="text-convert:uppercase" for some strings such as Author names for articles. 
W3C/WAI recommends using this technique for all-capitals because the accessibility tree should contain pure html strings with small or only capitelized words. The problem is, that many screen reader speech output engenes read the uppercase strings letter-by-letter and not normal.

A test file or URL would be helpful. With all the screen readers out there, it is not clear to me whether we actually have a bug in Firefox.

I think this bug should be fixed on the AT side.
