Firefox 2 now has help topics (From the menubar: ? > Help Contents F1 > Accessibility Features) which describe any special features and keyboard shortcuts designed to help users with disabilities. Please check the Accessibility help topic for more information.
This page defines most of the accessibility features possible in Firefox. Features include assistive technology support on Windows (like Window-Eyes, JAWS, etc.), Firefox keyboard support, available accessibility extensions like Fire Vox and other extensions.
This is a wiki page which users can edit to provide up to date information on any issues related to compatibility with assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice input software and on screen keyboards.
This document is intended to help testers and designers understand and plan what still needs to be added to our UI for full usable accessibility. Please give us feedback on the discussion list!
At the excellent Access Firefox website, you will find many valuable resources, including a list of Firefox themes that have been specially designed for those with low vision:
Both end users and developers are invited for discussion on the live IRC channel at irc.mozilla.org/#accessibility. Since this is a worldwide effort, there is always a good chance to find someone to chat with there, day or night.
We have two discussion lists, which can be read via a newsgroup reader, as a mailing list or via Google groups.
| Purpose | Newsgroup | Mailing list | Google group |
|---|---|---|---|
| Developer discussion | mozilla.dev.accessibility | subscribe/unsubscribe | Google group |
