and to further my point, open office is mightely accessible on the mac
and microsoft office is horribly inaccessible. So ths is not a matter
of possibility, it is a matter of decision.

about features and cross platform accessibility but from where I sit,
a browser is a browser and if Apple can make one accessible on the Mac
and opera can make one accessible on the mac, mozilla can.

Well, Safari has fewer features, for example:
1. No special table navigation.
2. No ARIA live regions.
3. No extension framework making use of a widget set.
Personally, I think it would be pretty amazing if Apple couldn't make
their own browser accessible with their own accessibility API and
screen reader. (Kind of like it was pretty amazing when they failed to
make Numbers accessible.)
Mozilla does not experience these problems on GNOME or Windows.
