Note that Firefox 3 also includes a lot of accessibility improvements for people with disabilities. Sun's Accessibility Program Office and team in Beijing, the Mozilla Foundation, the Mozilla Team, and the larger community have all been involved in this work.
In particular, the Orca (http://live.gnome.org/Orca) team and the Mozilla team have been working very closely for the past year to get Firefox to the accessibility point where it is today. It's great work and I unashamedly encourage you to try it out. ;-) Will (Orca project lead) Elaine Xiong wrote: > All, > > As you know, Firefox 3 beta 2 has been put into Vermillion 81.
