1900668 - Already running Firefox is not accessible when Orca is started

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P2)

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

If Orca is started after Firefox, Firefox does not detect the platform's accessibility state change and a11y is not instantiated. We need a more robust way to start a11y in Linux Firefox mid-session.

This patch is on hold. Trying to figure out a memory leak, not sure if it is legit or not.

There is an r+ patch which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:eeejay, could you have a look please?
If you still have some work to do, you can add an action "Plan Changes" in Phabricator.
