Jamal,
I'm curious; what will your Firefox 3 scripts do? I've been using
Firefox 3, and I find it already fairly accessible. The biggest
annoyance I have right now is that it doesn't seem to be reading column
headers as I move through tables. It reads row headers just fine. It may
be something about the tables themselves, but it worked fine in Firefox
2 and it works in IE 7. Although it seems relatively accessible to me
now, I'm sure it could be better, and I'm excited to hear that things
could be even nicer with some scripting effort.
