I stumbled on to this Mate tutorial.  It seems to have been written with Accessibility in mind.  Using Firefox with ORCA is similar to using Windows screenreaders with Firefox.  You can press ORCA-h, the help key then F3.  It should say something like 110 shortcut keys for Firefox.  You can arrow down and get an idea of what is available.

I finally got orca and mate running on my linux system and now have to
learn to use them. Can anyone suggest a tutorial geared to blind users. Who
don't use a mouse?
Assume I know absolutely nothing about the GUI interface. Which is absolutely
true since
until now I've only used the text console and have quickly determined
that trial and error will get me nowhere fast.

Thanks for any suggested tutorials.
