When using Thunderbird 5.0 to send an email message to more than one recipient it is necessary to use the alt-down arrow key to move to an edit field to type in the name/address of the additional contact. In TB 3.1 NVDA read this field properly and you could review what you wrote with the arrow keys. If the contact is in your address book NVDA read the autocomplete information as you typed the name. With TB 5.0 pressing alt-down arrow gives the prompt "row 2 of 4." Autocomplete information is not read if you type a contact who is in your address book, but if you move focus away from and then back to the window you can properly review the contact with arrow keys.

I can now confirm this. It is due to a bug in Thunderbird: MozillaBug:673860.

I recommend most NVDA users stay with Thunderbird 3.1 until at least this issue and one other is fixed. Nevertheless, here's a work around. After pressing alt+downArrow or enter to create a new recipient row, type any character into the field, then hit shift+tab and then tab.

Sounds like this has been fixed from MozillaBug:673860
