Description

When first tabbed to one cell which contains several links, the different links will be read while focus is not moved to them.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Invoke orca and firefox.
2. Load page http://www.google.com/.
3. Press Tab to move focus onto Personal Home link.

Actual result:
The link Personal Home and Sign in will be read even if the focus is still on first link Personal Home.

Only Personal link which gets the focus should be read.

Additional info:
This bug can be reproduced on vermillion_42/snv_41 with firefox trunk 20060527 nightly build.

This was filed relative to the old way we handled links, which is now completely different. Once the screen readers have a chance to catch up with our new code, please retest and file any new bugs related to links.

Hi Aaron, when will this new structure of firefox will be deployed to trunk nightly build? So that I could start my test ASAP.
Thanks.

Tim, most of it already is on trunk, but we need a couple of more weeks to fix the biggest things it broke. We knew it would break some things, but it doesn't make sense to test trunk for a while.

Okay, for the caret browsing, I'll postpone my test work on trunk till you fix this big issue.
I will transfer all my testing to firefox2.0 branch, does it make sense?

Tim, for the moment I would concentrate on:
1) XUL user interface testing
2) preparing more content tests based on http://www.mozilla.org/access/unix/new-atk

If you can, see what we need in order to test those things, if we don't already have them. If you can write Javascript, you might want to write some tests like http://www.mozilla.org/access/samples/js-nsIAccessible.htm
