When the screen goes on and off the screen reader used needs to be notified.

I have the screen off/on notifications working, but having trouble with the dimmed notification. What's more, the phone doesn't ever seem to dim when connected to the WebIDE. Is there another way to debug?

I wonder if screen dim is really important..

Well it gives a clue to a sighted user that the screen will shut off shortly because of inactivity. I think without it, there's a chance the screen reader users might fall into a situation where their screen shuts off too much on them?

If you don't mind, would you post your PR and I can try running it on my device? The only other useful thing could be adb logcat logging, and logging to console in content.
Any news on this? I think the only announcement we need is when the screen turns off (ie. mozPower.screenDisabled == true).

When the screen turns on, the cursor should simply present where it is at.

Gone down the rabbit whole of related/dependent issues. I'm currently working on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1171184 which is under review.
This bug is for Firefox OS, which we no longer develop or support.
