@esmobg welcome to Trac and thanks for your report. Unfortunately, Firefox 57 (Quantum) changed many things that have a big impact on how screen readers interact with the browser. I don't know anything specifically related to ORCA but you may want to read what the NVDA screen readers authors state in their blog: ​https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-halloween-2017-edition/

For now, the recommendation for screen reader users is to use Firefox ESR which is the official extended support version and it's basically Firefox 52 updated with security fixes only. See also ​https://www.marcozehe.de/2017/11/07/firefox-57-nvda-users-perspective/

Things should get better with the next couple versions of Firefox.
