Steps to reproduce:
I made this simple test case
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
<div>
<h2>Dude</h2>
<p>Once there was a bug</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
opened it in firefox 52.7.3 (32-bit) esr and read the page with Jaws 2018.1804.26 ILM. All elements were readable. Then with the inspector I added aria-hidden="true" to the div and read the page with Jaws. This time only the h1 was visible as expected. Then with the inspector I removed the aria-hidden="true" attribute from the div and read the page with Jaws.
Actual results:
Only the h1 continued to be readable by jaws.
Expected results:
All the elements in the div should have been readable again when the aria-hidden attribute was removed.

Confirmed. Simple test case:
data:text/html,<div id="hidden" aria-hidden="true">Hidden text</div><button onClick="document.getElementById('hidden').removeAttribute('aria-hidden');">Show hidden</button>
Pressing the button removes the aria-hidden attribute, but the hidden text doesn't appear to the JAWS virtual cursor. Pressing JAWSKey+escape to refresh does pick up the text.
Doesn't work in ESR 52 either, so this is not a recent regression in terms of any Firefox code.
Works fine with NVDA.
My guess is JAWS isn't handling our object attribute changed event correctly here.
I'll follow up with VFO.
