Description Max Li CLA 2012-02-22 13:32:41 EST 
When using the editor in Firefox with NVDA, before reading each line, the screen reader reads "section editable". This behaviour is not typical of text editors, and should be removed. (This does not happen with JAWS or with any other browser.)
Comment 1 Max Li CLA 2012-02-22 13:44:40 EST 
Firefox appears to expose div elements with the section role, which NVDA reads.

Here is a fix.

The commit is in the bug372264 branch.

The above fix seems to fix bug 371521 too.
