Does this only occur if the Firefox notification to remember password appears? This is covered by MozillaBug:699533, which has been fixed for Firefox 15.

Yes, this is the only situation where I've seen this. I'll close as fixed.

Already fixed, but making it clear that this was an external issue.

I've just upgraded to FF 15, and unfortunately it doesn't look as if this particular bug has been fixed; I still have to manually give focus back to the active window after password data has been entered.

It looks as if this is a duplicate of MozillaBug:433028, which doesn't yet have a milestone set.

If the Firefox remember password notification appears, you have to dismiss that before focus returns to the document. (Before FF 15, focus didn't return even if you dismissed it.) Are you doing this?

Of course, doorhangers ideally wouldn't get focus automatically. I'm chasing this issue up again with Mozilla.

No. I assumed that like in previous versions, the page would automatically get focus. Sorry, my bad. :)

Interestingly, it looks as if MozillaBug:433028 was filed in 2008, but with previous versions of Firefox this wasn't an issue, but it looks from that bug as if it may have been a problem for other screen readers.

Well, it really should. I'll file a bug with Mozilla to get this fixed. The bug to allow this problem to be fixed was fixed (MozillaBug:653230), but the actual problem itself somehow got lost and was never fixed. Clear as mud? :)

Yes. Lots of fixing and fixes there. :)

Do you have any ideas as to why this has been a problem for other screen readers for a while? It's mentioned in several comments of that particular bug.

Filed MozillaBug:787364.

@jcsteh @elliott94 Could you please update this ticket with the current status and progress made with regards to the related Mozilla bug(s)? If they have been fixed in recent versions of Firefox, then I suggest closing, otherwise wait till Jamie gets his hands on Firefox a11y officially in a couple months. :)

Still not fixed; no progress in over 4 years.

@elliott94, @jcsteh, is this still an issue?

I actually think my last comment might have been incorrect. I think this has been fixed for a while, but we didn't realise it. In any case, it's definitely fixed now (the notifications no longer grab focus) and thus I closed the Mozilla bug recently.
