orca/firefox: table navigation in aria grids says all cells are empty

[Alan Jenkins]

Here is a WAI-ARIA grid

<!-- test.html -->
<title>Test</title>

<div role="grid">
  <div role="row">
    <span role="gridcell"><a href="#">First</a> table cell</span>
  </div>

  <div role="row">
    <span role="gridcell">Second table cell</span>
  </div>

</div>
<!-- end test.html -->

1. Open this file in firefox, with the Orca screen reader enabled.
2. Press t to jump to the top of the table.
3. Press alt+shift+down to move down one cell.

You hear "blank, row two column one". "blank" meaning "empty".

Expected result: Orca should read the text in the table cell; in this case, "Second table cell, row two column one".

It's probably a firefox bug, but I don't know how to find out (other than digging into the code).
