Hi all (first time poster). I help out with Firefox DevTools accessibility
and indeed we landed improvements to markup inspector some time last year.
We also made overall keyboard accessibility somewhat better. Though this
year has been slower, we have a commitment to a high bar for Firefox
DevTools accessibility this and next year. Later this year we are planning
on releasing Accessible tree inspector as part of our DevTools, for
example. Expect to see a lot more next year!
