Changes:
Changed title from "NVDA NOT RENDERING SOME CONTENT in browse mode with firefox." to "NVDA not rendering some contents in browse mode with firefox."

Confirmed in Firefox nightly 22. I'm guessing its because the list in question has an xml role of directory, and I guess therefore this list does not have the read-only state. However, NVDA is also not announcing "list" which it should at least be doing here. So I think there may be more than one issue. Either way though, it must be debated whether a "directory" should be rendered or treeted as a form control.

Reading this info about the directory role suggests it probably should have the read-only state:

A list of references to members of a group, such as a static table of contents.

Authors SHOULD use this role for a static table of contents, whether linked or unlinked. This includes tables of contents built with lists, including nested lists.

Hi,
Another case of this is the table of contents on the html5.1 specification.
I believe this is a bug. I'm not sure how NVDA should reference this, maybe a table of contents region, or treat it as an embedded section I.E. you press enter from browse mode to enter it.

I can't reproduce this anymore. I think it got fixed.
