Comment:

 onionsoup (or anybody else): can you test the following zipped Firefox:

 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/27503_test.zip
 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/27503_test.zip.asc

 ?

 On my Windows machine double-clicking on the .zip file in the explorer
 makes a Browser directory available. Then I dragged that one on the
 desktop and double-clicked on it. Double-clicking then on the
 `firefox.exe` should start Firefox. It's an ESR 60 Firefox just with
 Jacek's accessibility patches (without any we use for Tor Browser).

 Does that one work for anyone with accessibility support (i.e. both chrome
 and content are rendering properly)?
