Is this not due to the lack of current development of IE by Microsoft, they 
kind of just left it. Are you saying it used to work before?

I couldn't reproduce it with IE 11.0.9600.19301 (32-bit) on Win7x64 and NVDA 2018.1. The names of the tabs are announced correctly in focus mode during switching them by pressing ArrowRight and ArrowLeft.

The obvious  difference is the version of nvda, and windows used between the 
reporter and yourself. I do not know enough about IE version labelling to 
know if it matters on that front.
 It needs another windows 10 IE user to comment I think, but I do stand by 
what I observed earlier about the priority of this problem given such a wide 
choice of better browsers now.

I am sorry to contradict, but I have to stand against this argument.
Of course there are far better browsers to choose from… when you do have the choice.
Many web applications still in use were designed for IE and only support IE.
This is still really common especially in corporate environments.

For what I could test with latest NVDA 2019.2beta3 / IE 11 / Windows 10, even if PR #9930 gets merged, there will still be an issue under IE with HTML tab headers: Their index and total number is not announced even if "Guess object position information when unavailable" is checked in the "Object Presentation" settings.
