Hello everyone,
I was having issues accessing some sites including this blog’s posting page after upgrading to 78.0.1 some time ago.
I got interested in what was new as I saw it pop up just now as I wanted to go check something out and saw that firefox was updated.
Here’s what is fixed in version 79.
- Various security fixes.
- Several crashes while using a screen reader were fixed, including a frequently encountered crash when using the JAWS screen reader.
- Firefox Developer Tools received significant fixes allowing screen reader users to benefit from some of the tools that were previously inaccessible.
- SVG title and desc elements (labels and descriptions) are now correctly exposed to assistive technology products such as screen readers.
