Re: Proposed W3C Charters: Accessibility (APA and ARIA Working Groups)

2018-07-11 Thread James Teh
I (and others in the accessibility team) think we should support these charters. The ARIA working group is especially important in the future evolution of web accessibility. I have some potential concerns/questions regarding the personalisation semantics specifications from APA, but they're more sp

Intent to prototype and ship: ARIA annotations

2020-02-27 Thread James Teh
In Firefox 75, we intend to enable ARIA annotations by default. Summary: This adds two new ARIA roles, a new aria-description attribute and expands aria-details. These changes are needed to support screen reader accessibility of comments, suggestions and other annotations in published documents an

Re: Proposal: remove support for running desktop Firefox in single-process mode (e10s disabled) anywhere but in tests
