Firefox Accessibility Extension: Must Have For Developers

Posted on | December 19, 2009 | No Comments

I’ve have recently installed the Firefox Accessibility Extension (version 1.5) by Jon Gunderson of the Illinois Center for Information Accessibility. It’s a fantastic tool that allows you to test the against the FAE and beta W3C accessibility rules. It’s a simple to use toolbar that enables reporting on navigation, text-based and embedded content, scripting and more. Should be a must have if you’re developing web sites but also if you manage your own web site and need to make it more accessible. Check it out on Mozilla.org.
