Aria Alert and Progress Loaders

Hi all,

We're using an aria alert in a progress loader.

We're finding inconsistencies in the browsers:
. In Firefox desktop, the screen reader (NVDA) announces the full
progress from 1 to 100% even after the loader has completed and focus has
moved to the main content.
. Again in Firefox, there is a 1-2 sec delay in announced percentage
changes. Adjusting the delay doesn't seem to affect the output
. Viewing in other browsers (Chrome/Edge) with NVDA and other screen
readers announces a percentage and jumps to main as expected
Any thoughts on workaround or similar experience?

Thanks,
== Joel Isaac
