If you search this mailing list's archives you'll see multiple large
threads on this topic. Last I heard it came down to Firefox wanting
Apple to change their accessibility API to align more with what FF has
already implemented for other platforms. Apple has not been interested.
There is also some funding questions where companies have sponsored
accessibility work for Firefox on other platforms (IBM in particular)
but nobody has done this for the Mac yet, or at least not significantly.

Hello Ray, thanks for your comments. I will continue to use safari.
Just as a matter of interest why doesn't firefox support Voiceover? Is
it Apple side of things or Mozilla. And my second question I think you
miss understood what I ment. I didn't mean form fields I ment the
buttons on web pages. So for example when you go to google.com and I'm
sorry to mention windows on this list forgive me if its off topic but
its the only way to explain what I am wanting to do. Well useing
Jaws or NVDA when you hit the letter b on the google page jaws at
least says "google search" followed by the word button to indecate
what it is. I hope I have made it more clear now as to what I want.
Many Thanks for the VO J command I'll give it a try when I next use a
Mac. The web item roter is the command for this VO Plus the letter U?
Like I said all these ramdom keystrokes I have learnt from memory and
am putting them into practice when I use the Mac at college. Also can
this item roter display the buttons that are currently on a page?
Thanks
Daniel

No Firefox with Voice Over.
Now, to get from one form control to another right away, use VO+j.
Another way to do it is to use the web item roter and select for form
fields.

hi everyone I have two questions about the internet on a Mac.
1. With Voiceover, is it possable to use firefox or to be even more to
the point can firefox work with voiceover if not then even a little? I
ask thisbecause today when I went to my college and we were all
getting use to the Mac's my teacher mentioned firefox that the sighted
were using and from what I heard before when I was on this list is
that it doesn't work proaply but I don't know if that's the case still.
and
2. When I was filling out a form today which was a registration for an
account for the college my support worker said there's a button at the
bottom of the page that we needed to get to. So we VO right to it but
my question is there a voiceover command to get to buttons directly on
a webpage? I have learned/memorised the heading one but I would like
to know the one for getting to buttons just a thought that I would ask
this list to help me out. I'm getting there people! lol
Look forward for your responcives!
Thanks
Daniel
