It doesn't seem so on my end, I just tested this using JAWS 18.0.2324 in FF 50.1.0 on Windows7 and after the Login button is activated, it's not possible to arrow around through the background content.

Which OS are you using?

I wonder if the latest JAWS update broke something-- with JAWS 18.0.234 and Firefox 50.1.0 I'm able to navigate to the content behind the Modal.

As one option,
Here is one example that works across both desktop and mobile:
http://whatsock.com/tsg/Coding%20Arena/Modals/Modal%20(Internal%20Content)/demo.htm

There is also an option of setting ARIA Dialog usage automatically within the setup if desired, plus nested modals are automatically supported.

The code for dropping this into jQuery is included in the widget archive at:
https://github.com/accdc/tsg

The code for dropping this into MooTools is included in the widget archive at:
https://github.com/accdc/tsg-mootools

And the code for dropping this into Dojo is included in the widget archive at:
https://github.com/accdc/tsg-dojo

This also provides automatic framework integration for all of the other widgets listed there as well if desired.

Best wishes,
Bryan

Subject: [WebAIM] Accessible modal dialog plugin

Greetings, Web AIM list,
I'm writing to see if any of you have a suggestion for an accessible dialog plugin our web developers can use to pop up modals. The site is responsive so we would want something that would work on Mobile as well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated- we're hoping to find something we can easily drop in or at least something that doesn't require us to write it from scratch.
Best,
