The VO-F (find) function works here under Mac OS 12.1 with Firefox 95. I visited a Web page and searched for text that I knew would be there – and found it without issue.

David originally asked about Safari and filling in passwords and form fields. I believe this is not a Safari issue, but a web site putting do not autofill on the password field, and then Safari paying attention to this. This of course makes sense for older browsers where there were no protections for the password keep within the browser. I use 1Password to manage all my passwords rather than the default browser password storage solutions which are different for each browser vendor. With one password, I type command-\ and it will fill in my username/password / one time password automatically. Generally, 1Password costs a few dollars a month, but if you search carefully, you can find a non network based version for a one time cost. 1Password is definitely more accessible than lastpass which is what my office provides. Somebody mentioned (was that David too?) that the VO find function was not working for them in Firefox. I haven't tested that recently, since I have been concentrating on Windows 11 accessibility for work recently and won't get back to looking at VoiceOver and Firefox for a couple months. I don't remember testing the search function but the item chooser did work in version 91 which is the last time I checked. Eric, I'd be glad to advise you some, but just saying something works weird gives me no way of knowing what issues you were seeing. I'd be glad to bring up Firefox some and see if I can reproduce / work around your issues if I knew what they were. Lastly, since I mentioned my workplace, let me just say that I don't work for a browser developer.

The last time I tried Firefox on OS X Catalina it turned out be very frustrating. Are there any settings I should be aware of to make it easier to use?

Recent versions of Firefox are very accessible with VoiceOver. Mozilla recently rewrote their Mac OS accessibility API support completely. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
