> IMO reflow is different -- it's more than just the order but that the content can be put into one column. Without loss of functionality, overlaps, cut off content, etc. I agree, but the argument is that if a meaningful order is programmatically available then the ability to make it one column etc is available. > > 2. The tab order is different in Firefox from other browsers, it follows the visual order. > Many people have said this is a bug because the focus order doesn't match the browse mode reading order. Historically, we've had to take the approach that the source order should make sense. However, with greater control (and soon complete control) over the visual order, Firefox's "bug" makes more sense. Increasingly, I think the visual order will be more appropriate for accessibility reasons, as Leonie and Richard Schwerdtfeger [1] have outlined previously. For example, if you are zoomed in and in one column, you really want the focus order to match the visual order, otherwise you could ping all over the place.
