yeah, but it can be used and in some cases is a better fit than ie.
Netscape is also tragically "inaccessible" but it needs to be used too so I
for one am glad we are being kept informed. Also, the mozilla family is
evolving where accessibility is concerned and will achieve the accessibility
we need and desire.

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] Firefox add-ons
I would like to inform the uninformed that disability and technology access
leaders share the consensus that Firefox is generally considered
inaccessible to screen readers. It does not offer the level of access and
usability that Internet Explorer currently offers the blind.
