Combobox element text content not being announced in Firefox.

[AlmeroSteyn]

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/example-index/combobox/combobox-select-only.html
• Use Firefox and NVDA and set focus on the combobox element

Actual behavior:

• Control is read out as: Favorite fruit combo box collapsed

Seems related to: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/12329

Expected behavior:

• Control should be read out as: Favorite fruit combo box Choose a Fruit collapsed
• This is current the behaviour of using NVDA on this page in Chrome and Edge

NVDA logs, crash dumps and other attachments: None

Other questions

Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?

Yes

Have you tried any other versions of NVDA? If so, please report their behaviors.

This issue has only become apparent on the latest version. Have not been able to downgrade to test

If NVDA add-ons are disabled, is your problem still occurring?

Yes

Does the issue still occur after you run the COM Registration Fixing Tool in NVDA's tools menu?

Running this on a development computer. As the system registry fixes that will be made is not clearly outlined I will have to skip this step. However, as it works in Chromium browser I suspect it to be a Firefox / NVDA integration issue and not registry related.
