[NJTechDiv] Accessibee doesn't work well with Firefox

[James Hulme]

Hi Tracy,

Unfortunately Access i Bee only works well with certain browsers like
Chrome and not Firefox.

http://www.accessiBe.com/

Also, its products were falsely advertised and not fully compliant with ADA
standards and the company faced a lawsuit on JUly 11, 2024

The company was founded in 2008 and aims to simplify and streamline the
process of becoming accessible and compliant by using AI, machine learning,
and PC vision.

Please try a Google Search and see for yourself.

HTH,

James Hulme
