Taken Straight from the Release Notes:
FireFox 1.5 has better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available information in applications and documents or show the information on a Braille display, enabling blind and visually impaired users to use equivalent software functionality as their sighted peers.
This is a good worthwhile development.

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005Filter cookies with the ‘View Cookies’ plugin for Firefox
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005Back in 2002, I filed a feature request for Mozilla/Firefox to see which cookies are used for the current URL that you are viewing in the browser.
I got an update about this request this morning:
The feature hasn’t been implemented as a core part of Firefox but there is a plugin called ‘View cookies’ that does this by adding a tab in the Page Info window.
This is very good news – I now don’t have to spend so much time scrolling though cookies for every site under the sun when debugging websites.
Many thanks to Ian Macfarlane for adding this info to the bugzilla entry.
WWF Passport – Environmental activism online
Wednesday, November 16th, 2005A while back I signed up on the passport.panda.org which is a website of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF International) organisation.
If you sign up you can “travel” around the world and participate in nature preserving campaigns – you then have a chance to add your voice to campaigns for the environment, no matter where you are in the world, all over the world.
