When navigating ARIA-enabled menu widgets, NVDA properly announces that the cursor is on a menu and properly announces the number of menu items and position within the bar. When enter is pressed to enter the sub-menu/menu items, NVDA announces "menu [of numbers" but in navigating via arrow key does not announce the name of the menu item. That is, we hear "2 of 3" but not the actual name of/label for the menu item itself. Also, occasionally, NVDA pulls in extraneous information. For example, that the sub-menu was implemented in a "table."
By contrast, JAWS 11 verbosity is more helpful. When entering the menu bar, JAWS says "Menu bar. To navigate, press right/down and left/up arrow keys." JAWS also accurately reads the menu item labels/names and uses an audio tone to indicate the user is "in" the menu.

We're getting very broken information from Firefox here for some reason. I've definitely seen ARIA menu implementations that work fine with NVDA, but this one is misbehaving quite badly indeed. I'll need to debug this further. Among other things, Firefox is throwing exceptions when we query for the name and attributes of the menu items, which is very bad. Note that NVDA uses a different API to query Firefox than does JAWS, which perhaps explains the different behaviour. In any case, I'll debug this more when I get some time and file bugs against Firefox if appropriate.
