Hello All,

FireFox browser is not yet accessible.  The accessibility features are being
incorporated into this software.  It is estimated that accessibility
features will be incorporated by the summer of 2005.  After these features
have been programmed, it will take some time for the screen reader
manufacturers to release updates that  take advantage of these features and
make browsers accessible.  The mozilla browser (not FireFox) is somewhat
accessible with the Window-Eyes latest 5.0 beta.  This is rudamentary access
compared to what is available in JFW 6.0 and Window-Eyes 4.5.

I hope this helps.

I don't know, but it's free so why not just try it.
