Hi guys!

some very exciting stuff coming from people at Mozilla, especially for us 
android users. As the subject says, first build of firefox for android that 
implements accessabilitty support is out now. All the details are here.

I haven’t tried this yet, as at the moment the “nightly build download page” 
that the blog post refers too seem to give 404 at the moment, but still, 
potentially this could be really good. Also based on the blog post, though not 
available at the moment, seems like they will intergrate keyboard navigational 
options. For anyone else that might try it, please remember that this is a beta 
and that there well may be bugs, but also please please report them to the bug 
tracker. The more of us blind people give them constructive feedback, the more 
serious they will take us and realise that what they’re doing is important.
