I have little info beyond this, but here are a couple items:

Marco Zehe has an old (2009) but still useful-sounding article from
when they first got ARIA support into Firebug. He gives several
examples of how it can be used:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefocus/

The documentation Marco links to has been moved. It's by Hans Hillen
of The Paciello Group, & has some outdated refernces (to Firefox 3!),
but otherwise is as essential as Marco claims.:
http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Accessibility

A couple other add-ons that I have links to (do they work with screen
readers?...):

Firefocus, tracks where focus will be on the page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefocus/

Ainspector helps with ... other stuff:
