TalkBack and Firefox fails when select options are over 20
So I am using Android S4 4.2.2 and the latest versions of talkback and firefox. I have a simple html select with a Occupation selection which has 104 values. When talkback is enabled and navigates through the page. It reads the collapsed combo box correctly, but then continues to read all the values in the drop down though I make a selection and the combo box is closed.
It's pretty basic HTML, is there some magic trick I need to do to get TalkBack to read old school HTML because iOS voiceover reads it normally. Talkback seems to fail on any select list that contains more than 20 options
<select id="personalDetails1-showEmployed-occupation-cmbInput" name="personalDetails1-showEmployed-occupation-cmbInput" class="custom replaced" size="1" onblur="mojarra.ab(this,event,'blur',0,'@this personalDetails1-showEmployed-occupation-err')" onchange="jsf.util.chain(this,event,'mojarra.ab(this,event,\'valueChange\',0,\'personalDetails1-showEmployed-occupation-err\')')"> <option value="" selected="selected">Please select</option>

HI senthil.arjun, Thank you for your question. Debugging Talk Back and the Accessibility API is not my specialty but I would be happy to put you in the right direction. If you have a test url and clear steps to reproduce, please file a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org. Thank you!
