If use navigate the “Drop-Down” box using “Arrow Key”, labeling of combo box is not readable by using Firefox 25.0.1 and NVDA 2013.1.1. This works correctly on the lower version of firefox 22 and 23.
Could you please suggest .

OK first off, update to the latest version of nvda, then try again. I'm assuming you are referring to the strange effect on some web pages with combo boxes where it seems to either stay blank or be a line or two down from its actual location. I have seen this problem on the latest version in both Firefox and IE, but as it seems only to afflict Adobes flash msi version install page, I assumed it was a bit of poor web page design. It asks for your operating system and version, but it can be done, it just needs one to come out of the combo box and go back in to see what it changed to, ther are luckily not that many options!
Of course you might be referring to something else, so if you can give us a clue by posting the web pages involved, what you did and what happened.

Changes:
Changed title from "If use navigate the “Drop-Down” box using “Arrow Key”, labeling of combo box is not readable" to "If you navigate the “Drop-Down” box using “Arrow Key”, labeling of combo box is not readable"

This is not specific enough for us to understand the problem. Please provide an example page and exact steps to reproduce, including what keys you pressed, what happened (e.g. what it said) and what you expected to happen.

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
        <p>
            <label for="txtFirstName" >First Name:</label>
            <asp:TextBox class="textBox01" ID="txtFirstName" runat="server" MaxLength="200" ToolTip="Enter your first name">           
                            </asp:TextBox></p>
                            <p>
            <label for="txtFirstName" >Last Name:</label>
            <asp:TextBox class="textBox01" ID="TextBox1" runat="server" MaxLength="200" ToolTip="Enter your first name">           
                            </asp:TextBox></p>
        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
         <ContentTemplate>
         <label for="cmbSchool" >Select your school from the list:</label><br />
          <asp:DropDownList class="sel01" ID="cmbSchool" runat="server" Width="70" 
                                        ToolTip="Choose your school from the drop down list" >
                                    </asp:DropDownList>
         </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>
    </div>
    </form>

Please find above code snippet, where we are able to navigate through TAB properly, but not with arrow keys.
Expected result: we are expecting from NVDA to read it as "Firstname:edit field", "LastName:edit field" "Select your school from the list:drop down list"
Please suggest.

Having rad the above, I think this is possibly a different issue to what i was getting on
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
In this case on IE8 particularly, when you use the select operating system combo box with space, and arrow down, it can eithe r be totally silent, or take a long time to respond.
You can come out and cursor back up and see what you selected, then go back in and try another cursor movement, till you select th right one.
This whole page is faster in
firefox, but does still occasionally occur. My feeling is that if the machine is faster than mine, it might well just work reliably.

This is still not clear enough. You didn't specify what you tried to do with the arrow keys and what was focused at the time, nor did you specify what NVDA reported instead. Also, the code you provided is only useful if one has access to an ASP server, which we do not.

Closing, as this information is not clear enough, as reported in #3657 (comment)
