About Access Firefox

My name is Ken Saunders. I'm the creator of Access Firefox and I'm legally blind.
I've been using Mozilla Firefox for seven years now. I began using Firefox because I found the accessibility tools and features that Firefox offered to be very helpful and assistive for my daily Internet needs and unmatched by any other web browser.
Not only does the same hold true today, but Firefox has improved over time and it remains the most customizable web browser available allowing everyone to tailor Firefox to suit their own needs.

I created Access Firefox with the goal of making it a Firefox accessibility web portal for end users. A place where persons with visual impairments, and those without the best visual acuity would discover tools and resources that would allow them to take control of their Internet interactions by customizing the way that they view and access content.

While Access Firefox is not an official Mozilla site, nor is it affiliated with the Mozilla Foundation or Mozilla Corporation, Access Firefox and its content was created, and is maintained by members of several different Mozilla communities including the following.

Michael Buckley: Uber Code Guru
Wrote all of the base code (PHP, HTML, CSS, JS) for Access Firefox.

Otto de Voogd: Site Technician
Web site hosting account assistance. Web site server, database, and domain setup and maintenance. Site troubleshooting and coding assistance.

Ed Hume: Firefox Theme Author
Created the first ever Firefox theme (HiVis Large) specifically for Firefox users with visual impairments.

Lou Cypher: Page Zoom Buttons contributor
Greatly enhanced the functionality of the Page Zoom Buttons Firefox add-on (created by Access Firefox) by making it possible to zoom in and out of web pages, and reset back to default zoom all from a single toolbar button.
