 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520177. Just to be sure:
 Accessibility works in Mozilla's official Firefox for you, right?

 > Well I am not onionsoup, but I did not see a reply to this comment and I
 am affected by this issue.  I can confirm that the official version of
 Firefox 64.0.2 works just fine for me with both NVDA and the latest
 version of JAWS.  All of the recent versions of FF since version 60 have
 not presented any accessibility issues for me.

 My apologies for the late reply, I've been without internet. Indeed, the
 official Firefox builds are accessible to me, using the latest NVDA on
 Windows.
