STR:
1. Run the try-server build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/hfiguiere@mozilla.com-b2c705a32cf8/.
2. Open a web page.
3. navigate to an element using CTRL+Option+RightArrow.
4. On a link, press CTRL+Option+Space to activate, like is done in Safari.

Result: Fail.
Expected: Success.

5. Observe where the visual focus is. With VoiceOver's default settings, it is expected that the keyboard focus/visual focus jumps to all focusable items the VoiceOver cursor navigates to.

Result: Fail, the visual focus is not on the link VoiceOver was last announcing.
Expedcted: Visual focus should be there.

6. Press CTRL+Option+Cmd+F5 to pull the mouse pointer to the element the VoiceOver cursor sits on. Note that you get vocal confirmation.

Expected: Mouse pointer hovers on link.
Actual: Mose pointer stays at top left corner. I confirmed this by pressing Ctrl+Option+Shift+Space, which simulates a mouse click. It opened the Apple menu instead of clicking the link.

The functionality for VoiceOver to pull keyboard focus by default, and mouse pointer on demand, to the location of the VoiceOver cursor, must be there since this is basic user behavior in VoiceOver.
Blocks: osxa11y
No longer blocks: maca11y
Basic functionality that needs to be present in order to use the builds effectively and do more hard-core, efficient, testing of many web pages.
Priority: -- → P1
The mouse pointer is properly positionned.

However we don't deal with the action press in links.
Summary: [Mac] Routing Focus and Mouse pointer to VoiceOver cursor does not work on web pages, works in dialogs. → [Mac] "pressing" links does not work

I'd like to see some mapping mechanism between gecko and mac, otherwise you are forced to do assumptions. File a bug?

why sometimes do you have space after method name and sometimes you don't?

My personal style does not put any, including after if. So I got it distorted :-/ I'll fix it.
