Actually, it is Firefox 35.0 and not 3.5.0. But yes - I can confirm this. I'm running Firefox 35.0 with the latest "next" snapshot of NVDA on a Windows 8.1 64-bit machine. In my case, NVDA plays its error sound, probably due to the fact that it is a test version and the error sound is enabled for the test versions of NVDA.

See also #3654, though this seems to be much worse now.

Technical: Mozilla have broken a couple of things here.

1. On the Google Search results page, hit testing seems to be returning an object much higher in the heirarchy.
2. Even with this wrong object, any unit other than character returns offsets of (0, 0). However, I don't think this issue is new; it just shows up because of issue 1.
   Issue 1 is the real problem.

Hi,
People over at users mailing list speculate that somehow Firefox's way of handling CSS might be playing a role here. One user raised concerns that with more and more sites adopting CSS 3, it may pose a major issue.
Thanks.

Fixed for Firefox 38. I've requested that the fix be uplifted to a sooner release, but that decision is up to Mozilla.

Okay. This got approved for Firefox 36 and 37 as well.
