Doing a "find" ends up showing a greenish (so I'm told) background with white text. Want to guess which "find" in the attached image is difficult for me to find?

What I would like: Find (focus): yellow text on black background Find All: white text on black background

Yes, of course it would be nice if that would auto switch to black on yellow if the website default is black background.

I can hack userContent.css and get the selection function to work:

/* General highlight (for text selection, etc.) */

selection {
   background: #FFFF00 !important;  /* Yellow background */
   color: #000000 !important;       /* Black text */

}

I can hack userContent.css and get the Find All (sans the focus) to work.

But firefox always provides the focus with white on green. Even if I do something like this:

/* Customize the color of highlighted search text */ input[type="search"]:focus::selection {

   background: #FFFF00 !important;  /* Yellow background */
   color: #000000 !important;       /* Black text */

}

I tried several themes. No change. I tried changing Windows Preferences. No change.

There must be a way to make this "find" feature useful for me.

Good day, I'm trying to use my TAB key on my keyboard to move to the next input but instead it only functions as an Enter key now. Which means I physically need to use my mouse to click on the next input field in order to move to the next section. Such a small and basic function that is now gone- and unfortunately a deal breaker for me using Firefox. I need to work fast, working through thousands of lines of data, I cannot sit and click on every field. None of the fixes I've found works.

Screen reader not reading updated form fields in Firefox

I am facing an accessibility issue in Firefox when I try to use a screen reader on different online forms. The problem appears when the page has multiple dynamic fields. The screen reader skips some labels and does not read the updated content after new options appear.

I noticed this recently while checking an online service form similar to the eight one seven one web portal where the form loads new sections based on user input. In Firefox the screen reader does not announce these new sections, but in another browser it reads everything correctly.

I have already tried the following steps: Clearing cache Restarting Firefox Testing with two different screen readers Trying safe mode

The issue remains the same.

I want to know: Is this a known accessibility issue related to dynamic form updates Is there any setting in Firefox that helps screen readers detect newly loaded elements Do I need to change anything in the accessibility permissions or advanced settings

I would really appreciate guidance because this affects users who depend on screen readers for completing online applications.

Thank you.

I am having problems navigating using Voice Control which I believe was previously called Voice Over, which allows me to control and type with my voice. It works on Safari however on the Firefox desktop app it is completely broken and I cannot give any commands and typing text doesn't work on some website such as ChatGPT.

I found an old article explaining the support has been added however I don't understand why I can't use Voice Over at all on my Mac.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

At about 9 AM EST, 11/12, Firefox did an update that rendered accessibility through my voice navigation software inoperable. I need to use this to navigate the web due to disabilities with my hands. The system could no longer recognize any thing buttons or words on webpages, including the Firefox tabs at the top left of screen. I posted a question about this on 11/13. Later that afternoon, the functionality was restored. However, this morning, 11/13, this functionality has vanished again. Can this please be restored? Something obviously went awry in the coding with this most recent update. Thank you.

Firefox just did an update about 9 AM on 11/12/2025. I use dictation software to navigate the webpages due to disabilities with my hands. The software can no longer recognize any of the tabs at the top of the screen, nor any of the buttons on webpages. This makes it almost impossible for me to navigate on the web. Something must have gone wrong/been overlooked in your coding with this update. Can this please be fixed?

The "Subject" pretty much describes my specific question. You will see an example in the screenshot I uploaded. When I increase the screen using comm + the type is too large & the video shrinks. ((although, somehow, the screen becomes smaller even though I'm enlarging it). Even with my reading glasses, I can't see 95% of the type.

I've poured through everything (i think) on the website, and I made some changes, but they didn't make a difference (other than getting rid of those miserable recommended videos on the side).

I have another question: Do I have to use a secondary email address: my Dept. of Ed. Outlook address, but I've just retired, and won't have access to it in about six months. I also don't want the DOE all up in my business: emails are legal documents forever & ever.

Lastly, the "Share Data" link says "the internal workings of your browser." What does that mean?

Thank you in advance for any help you can send my way.

All the best, Lev.
