Thanks for opening this bug.
Rob is helping me getting in contact with a mailing list of TB users using screen readers.
I'll test this with what I have and update the bug once I have more info.

A quick update to let you know that I got in contact with a group of visually impaired users in the Mozilla Groups mailing list and I shared the latest daily build.

Best regards.

After all the bugs listed above, and bug 1613045 landed, I think we can close this and deal with further issues on dedicated bugs once we stumble upon them.
Thanks Alex for the feedback and help with testing the landed patches.
