Good morning. When I opened Firefox I was prompted for an update. This link
says Firefox 4 is hear.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.16/whatsnew/
I hesitate to download the update until I hear I won't lose any accessibility
features like Webvisum and bookmar creation. How do I contact the FS employee?
If the update won't be worth it, how do I make this message go away when I
open Firefox? Thanks.

Hi all,
no reason to worry too soon here, since there is a former FS employee from
Germany on Mozilla's Accessibility team.

Hi. Today's Wall Street Journal has an article about version 4 of Firefox
that is about to be released. Speed and look appear to be the featured
improvements. But the following passage makes me wonder about accessibility and
whether screenreader users might be advised to wait before upgrading:
Gone are the layers of tool bars, status bars, the bookmark bar. Instead
there is a row of tabs-much like Chrome. Interestingly, Mozilla is sticking to
the more traditional address box on the left and search box on the right like
IE and Safari. Chrome has combined the search box and address box into one.
