[NFBCS] AccessiBeGone for Firefox: Take It for a Test Drive

[Nicole Torcolini]

            Okay, since this is not yet an official Firefox extension, it
has to be added manually every time that you want to use it. Hopefully, I
can get made into an official extension soon. I will try to make an
installer for it later. Here is what you need to do to use it:

1.	Go to
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JbEpC8Kk6iRgzymHNrk3EOr7c24oxXkp
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JbEpC8Kk6iRgzymHNrk3EOr7c24oxXkp&authuser
=nbtorcol%40gmail.com&usp=drive_fs>
&authuser=nbtorcol%40gmail.com&usp=drive_fs and download the zip file.
2.	Unzip it
3.	Copy the AccessiBeGone folder to
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Extensions where [username] is
your username on the computer
4.	Open Firefox and type about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in the
address bar. You can also make a .bat file that contains ""C:\Program
Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -url
about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox" (without the quotes) to launch this
window instead of having to type the address.
5.	Press the "Load temporary Add-on." button
6.	In the dialog that is presented, navigate to the
Extensions\AccesiBeGone folder on you computer (you can also paste the path)
and select either the manifest or js file-it does not matter which.
7.	Go to a site that has AccessiBe and test the extension.

To unload the extension, either use the remove button in the debugging
window or just close all Firefox windows.

            There seems to be a problem with one of the sites that I tested
where the announcer element does not get removed fast enough, so JAWS still
announces the activation message, but I could not get it to replicate
consistently, so I will have to see what happens. Please let me know how it
goes.

            Oh, and please let me know if you are interested in reading the
actual JavaScript. You cannot read the JavaScript in the provided file-at
least not easily-because it is compiled.
