Here's the Firefox ATK hierarchy in current trunk
Minifield                                         application
--Minifield Start Page - Minefield   frame
----(empty)                                   menu
----(empty)                                   menu
----(empty)                                   tooltip
----(empty)                                   menu
------(empty)                                tree
--------(empty)                            list
----------(empty)                        column header
----(empty)                                   menu
----(empty)                                   menu
----(empty)                                   menu
----(empty)                                   menu
----(empty)                                   tooltip
----(empty)                                   tooltip
----(empty)                                   tool bar 3 children
----(empty)                                   tool bar 10 children
----(empty)                                   tool bar 7 children
----(empty)                                   panel 1 child
----(empty)                                   menu
----(empty)                                   statusbar 2 children

With June 26's build, the hierarchy is
Minifield                                         application
--Minifield Start Page - Minefield   frame
----(empty)                                   tooltip
----(empty)                                   menu
------(empty)                                tree
--------(empty)                            list
----------(empty)                        column header
----(empty)                                   tooltip
----(empty)                                   tool bar 3 children
----(empty)                                   tool bar 9 children
----(empty)                                   tool bar 0 children
----(empty)                                   panel 1 child
----(empty)                                   statusbar 1 child

I don't know if it is a bug, and what's impact yet.

Could be context menu objects that are waiting around to be used.

Extra objects often don't have much impact in XUL for screen readers, which is just reporting events like focus.

It might affect on screen keyboards and voice input though.
