This is an interesting find, as I didn’t even know I was running 113,. I do notice that I can go heading to heading on this blog, but the screen doesn’t change like it does in Chrome. This makes selecting the context key to copy a link to a blog post quite interesting in this version, but for casual reading, it is nice and fast.
Their blog post titled Firefox 113 Significantly Boosts Accessibility Performance has all of the details on their latest accessibility initiative.
Brandon: Boosting Jamie Teh (jcsteh): I’m very pleased to announce that Cache the World, our re-architecture of the Firefox accessibility engine to improve performance, reliability and correctness, is now enabled by default on all platforms with today’s release of Firefox 113. https://blog.mozilla.org/accessibility/firefox-113-accessibility-performance/ #accessibility #a11y
Jamie was at one company, then left to join mozilla. I believe my memory tells me he was once at the NVDA project, but I can be corrected.
He and the team are doing a great job here. Keep up the great work!
