I just don't know why the xfce desktop along with the menu is accessible. I've also installed libreoffice and this is also accessible by default. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'm not sure what is different between firefox and thunderbird and the rest of the OS. Again any help would be highly appreciated.

I've been working on getting Orca to work with xfce. So far everything has been going really well. So far I've been able to make the xfce desktop accessible along with the xfce menu and other programs such as pidgin. Here is a problem that I'm having. When I open firefox and thunderbird Orca can't read anything in these programs. Using the gnome desktop both of these programs are very accessible. So i'm not sure what I could be missing. I noticed that there is a package firefox-gnome-support and this was already installed. I also installed gedit and this application was accessible without having to do anything to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This would be a big boost for the blind community to have a light and fast desktop to use as an alternative to Gnome.
