Article: [senit] FireFox

(Open Source interest declared...)

Hi Clare it's great to hear that. I'm being slightly off topic but I
think this might be of interest to the group.

I've just got back from the CSUN conference were we had great time on
the Mozilla booth explaining about the new accessibility features in
the soon to be released Firefox 3.  Actually you can try the latest
and quite stable Beta 4
http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/firefox/all-beta.html.

A version of the flier that we handed out to summarise these new
features is available at
http://www.accessfirefox.org/Firefox_3_Accessibility_Features.php

And if you have not discovered it yet, www.accessfirefox.org is a
great community resource for finding out about Firefox accessibility
features.

PS You can read more about Stephen Fry's great articles at:
