The Firefox add-on Greasemonkey allows you to create scripts that alter the
behaviour of webs sites as they are visited and so has many potential
accessibility uses.

This nifty little compiler converts a script into a firefox add-on so it is
really easy to deploy and install. PHP source is provided

into-firefox-extensions/

Note: FF 3 has a few changes for add-ons and I don't now if this works OK,
