I think you have to be using JAWS 12 to be using FF 4---which probably means you need to be using at least JAWS 12 to have a chance of it working with FF 5. That could possibly be why you might be having problems with the application role.

I have redone my tests using JAWS 12 and, although there are some subtle
changes, the actual problem of JAWS not entering application mode persists.

I have created a sample page to facilitate the discussion. The HTML, JS
and CSS files are attached.
