Hi, as a brief update, there are some changes coming down the line that changes
this a bit, so it's likely we will be seeing more focus on Firefox on
pre-Windows10 operating systems in the future, since JAWS is starting to use
the OS Accessibility API and accessibility tree more and more for integrated
ARIA support. This is more fully described at
http://www.ssbbartgroup.com/blog/release-of-the-windows-10-edge-browser-what-it-means-for-accessibility-and-aria-support-in-ie/

Also, if it's helpful, the Accessibility Tree Training Guide provides a lot of
the background detail needed for understanding ARIA, at
http://whatsock.com/training/#hd2

All the best,
Bryan
