- Have you ever seen notations talking about fixes for screen reader users? Firefox fixed a very nasty crash with Jaws, but besides that, other screen reader updates were made to Firefox 79 which has recently been released. You don't normally see fixes for access tech so this is quite a surprise and a welcome change. Thanks Firefox! blog post
