I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

I am testing my website https://www.nextwebi.com

for accessibility and usability in Mozilla Firefox.

While checking, I noticed a few issues:

Keyboard navigation is not working smoothly (Tab key skips some sections) Screen readers are not properly identifying certain buttons and links Focus indicators are not clearly visible on interactive elements

I want to improve the accessibility of my website to ensure it works well for all users, including those using assistive technologies.

Are there any Firefox-specific tools or developer options to debug accessibility issues? Also, what are the best practices to fix ARIA roles and improve navigation?

Thanks for your help.

1. Enable the search box to the right side of URL box in browser UI.
2. Open new tab (empty URL box).
3. Press TAB.
4. The search engine SELECTOR becomes highlighted, instead of the search INPUT.
5. Web application software developer is blocked from typing search query right away.
6. Must press ANOTHER TAB.
7. This breaks the workflow. It never used to do this, you could type immediately after tabbing ONCE.
8. Search is disabled in URL box to facilitate local domain resolution/error and NOT trigger fallback searching.

Please revert the behaviour to normal, and make the single TAB operation focus on the search INPUT.

Mozilla is blocking my attemps to access my employer web site, warning that the site is a malicious site. I've always been able to access this site. How do I upgrade my Apple laptop?

Hi, I was wondering if you still have the word processing program, similar to Microsoft Word. I seem to remembering using it when I was in College some years back. If you do how do I access it?

I am having trouble getting to 2 sites. When I try to access my bank I get a "this site blocked" message. when I try to access dteenergy.com I get a " server not available" message. If I turn VPN off I can get to both sites. If I turn VPN off I can get to both sites.

In the last two versions -- Firefox ESR - 115.34.1esr and 115.35.0esr -- the virtual keyboard (on-screen keyboard) is no longer visible. See attachments - login screen.png and Firefox version screenshot.png

Hello, In FF 152.0.5 (aarch64) on macOS 26.5.2, I am noticing that every website that has a checkbox in a form does not work the way it should. The only indication that the box is checked is a slight "highlight" around the edge of the box, nothing actually in the box. See attached screenshot from the USPS website.

Also, the NO checkbox wasn't even visible until I clicked the area next to it. It was just blank.

I've seen this for set-up pages for WordPress plugins and on standard contact forms (using CF7 plugin) where the checkboxes so very little or no interaction to the user at all.

Grant it, I know now what to look for and how to use these. But any standard user is going to be absolutely confused by this unintended (I Hope) browser behavior.
