Hello,
I'm one of the developers of WebVisum, a Firefox extension that
allows blind web surfers to share web page accessibility repairs
across the web, do OCR on images and solve CAPTCHAs. Check it out
at http://www.webvisum.com/
This tool was developed for Firefox because the extensibility
mechanism was easy for us to use, and because of the openness of the
platform accessibility solution, which is beneficial to our users
and affords us maximum future flexibility.
Recently I've really been pushing the Mozilla accessibility team to
develop VoiceOver compatibility. We'd like VoiceOver users to be
able to take advantage of WebVisum. I'm very persistent because we
do get many requests from VoiceOver users, and because I think Mac
is important.
The team was sympathetic, and said they've been trying to do this
since 2006, but stopped because of unresolved problems that they
couldn't get help with.
Aaron Leventhal (the Firefox accessibility lead) also wants to make
Firefox accessible on OS X so he wrote the following article:

The article is worth a read. I'd like to hear people's opinions on
the options going forward.
Thanks!
