Accessibility/Mac2020

This page provides information about our efforts in 2020 to improve Firefox accessibility on OSX.

Rationale

OSX is a popular platform among web developers and designers. It is important we provide a means for testing web content accessibility in OSX. Historically, our OSX support has been plagued with performance issues, but we can still provide a good benchmark for developers to test with. After we reach API completeness, we will do a second pass to optimize the experience for VoiceOver users and assure the performance is optimal and comparable to other browsers.

Phase One (2020 H1)

Robustify our VoiceOver support so it will be good enough for part-time VoiceOver users to use for web accessibility testing purposes.

Phase Two (2020 H2)

Focus on the end-user VoiceOver experience with emphasis on performance, caret navigation and text editing.
