Page Zoom Buttons is an add-on for Firefox that allows you to control the full page zoom feature that is in Firefox 3. Toolbar buttons are provided to zoom in, zoom out, and reset a web page back to its default view instantly. You can choose to use a single button for all 3 zoom functions which saves toolbar space, or you can use individual buttons.
You can also use Page Zoom Buttons with Firefox 3 zoom support to zoom in and out of photos, graphics, and various documents that you may have on your computer locally and offline. Page Zoom Buttons will work in Firefox 2 but only the text will be zoomed.

Due to changes in the way that Firefox 3 handles add-ons, automatic updates for add-ons are not available if installed from sites other than AMO unless the developer(s) wants to shell out $. AccessFirefox.org is a non-profit public benefit site so chances are slim to none that we'll be putting out money to provide a free add-on.

Install from the Firefox Add-ons site (recommended)
Choosing this option ensures that you will receive updates to Page Zoom Buttons as they are released (login is required). Please take the time to rate and/or review Page Zoom Buttons so that it can be moved to the public add-ons sections for more people to benefit from.

From the beginning, I always wanted to be sure that Access Firefox was easy to navigate and that the main focus was put on the content that I was presenting and wanted people to have interest in so I would for the most part suppress the design and graphics and make it compliment the content not steal away focus. That seemed to work pretty well but I felt that the site was too dry looking and lacked character and energy. From what I've seen over the past 9+ years on the Internet, accessibility has always been presented without much flare. Why is that? I have a visual impairment and I love eye candy so I've created new full color graphics including cool new icons for the home page and have begun a minor revamp to the entire site.

I really enjoy the CSS layout that Michael Buckley wrote for Access Firefox so that is staying intact but some elements have been changed such as the hover and active background colors stand out more and appear to be more animated now. Also a lot of content has been rearranged, added, removed, cleaned up.
They'll always be some sort of tweaking going on to the site whether it is design related, content updates needed, washing the windows, taking out the trash etc. Feel free to pitch in.

Firefox 3 Accessibility Features Page

Frank Hecker and Marco Zehe put together a great Firefox 3 accessibility features brochure for the upcoming CSUN conference. I contacted Mr. Hecker with a request to be able to use the content in the brochure and he has kindly released his and Marco's work under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license. That content is now available on Access Firefox as the Firefox 3 Accessibility Features page and it is also available for download in PDF or ODT formats. It is a listing of some of the new accessibility features and options that have already been implemented into Firefox 3 beta 4. The page will continue to be updated as needed and it will eventually be merged with the current Firefox accessibility features page.

For quite a long time now I've wanted to be able to syndicate the content on Access Firefox. Today, thanks to a great friend AccessFirefox.org now carries that cool graphic of Mozilla's the orange RSS icon.

Now of course there won't be 1,000's of subscribers, the important thing is getting Firefox accessibility content out there onto the Internet for people to find, and feeds are a great way to do it.

Very special thanks to Michael Buckley who wrote and installed an awesome script that makes creating feeds extremely easy. You can get the script for yourself at Codefisher.org along with a ton of other great content.
Thanks for reading.
