Evolution of Firefox Accessibility provided some excellent insight into how the Mozilla Foundation is working to make Firefox accessible for those will all different types of disabilities. I was blown away at how many grants had been given to various individuals to work on accessibly for different components of Firefox.
One of the best resources that I found out about was the Access Firefox which provides themes, extensions, keyboard shortcuts, and much more that all help those with disabilities use Firefox to navigate the Internet. I will be gathering tons of resources from this site, or linking heavily to the site, in the upcoming Accessibility web resource site that we’re building for the ATI project.
Overall, it sounds like Firefox is a very accessible application and works well with several applications such as: Jaws, WindowEyes, Drago, Firevox, and ZoomText. I think it’s high time that CSU Chico start to officially support Firefox 2.0 simply because it has such great support for making the web accessible.
