592643 - Accessibility needs integration tests

Status: NEW

We should find a way to automated testing Firefox with NVDA to catch accessibility regressions.  We might be able to use the MozMill framework for this, not sure, but I bet Henrik would have ideas.

As partial fix of the bug we could write a python scripts to test MSAA/IA2 part. We need COM library for python or something for this, I've never dealt with it.

Ideally of course we'd like to have tests for NVDA+Firefox work. Though this could be done as Orca developers suggested: they have test suite for Orca+Firefox and all we need to run them on our tinderbox machines.
