I use a screen reader and thus do not use a mouse. The only instructions in the mozilla knowledge base for how to generate strong passwords via the mozilla password manager are mouse specific. After much messing around, I figured out a solution.

Would some kind soul add the following to the article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-generate-secure-password-firefox
