You've got this somewhat backwards. It is not that Firefox does not
support the Flash accessibility feature-set as that should be handled
entirely by the plugin. Rather, Adobe failed to expose content to MSAA
in their Netscape-style Flash plugin.
There is literally nothing more Firefox developers can do about this.
They can't realistically handle Flash content without Adobe's plugin
since the Flash format specification prohibits people from basing new
Flash players on that specification.
Once Opera supports screen readers again in a forthcoming release,
they'll have the same problem.
