Hi Nick,
Do you think it would be OK with him to tell me his story? I'm going down the path of learning web development so I can understand web accessibility both from a screen reader, user, dangerous coding perspective, and, someday, from a real developer sperspective, as someone who actually knows how to make sites and applications.

Thanks.

Jim

One of my colleagues really enjoys the accessibility improvements that Firefox has made to its developer tools. He uses NVDA with it. He says that they are very close to being made fully accessible, but he is able to inspect code.

Subject: [WebAIM] The Accessibility of Browser-based Development Environments

Hi,
I know that extensive work was done to make Firebug accessible. I thought I read that that work was brought into FFirefox itself. This prompted me to want to see if anyone who is blind here has either good experiences with the development tools in either the newest Firefox, the newest IE, Edge, or Chrome. I'm also wondering how Google is doing with Chrome accessibility in general, and how the screen reader venders are doing with closing the gap from their side, since Chrome seems to be very popular among sighted vendors.

Thanks.

Jim
