On the websites I work on I have stopped testing on Firefox for the most part. I do testing once in a while, but I'd rather spend the time to make the site more accessible since it's a larger group than Firefox users.


If you abandon stanards which requires testing with different implementations you absolutely abandon acessibility for vastly more people in the future, imho.


So, how should I feel as a blind user who uses Firefox? :)


Happy that I use my time to try to help your disability and make your life easier rather than make sure that a web browser that hardly anyone uses work 100% correctly.

Surely, most of the time Firefox will work just fine or at least good enough and by that standard I am sure that a site that has put some focus for it being easier to read with a screen reader is more important?


Maybe so, but another option is that the main functionality of the website tells me to use Chrome in a vary accessible way. :)

Don't take it like I'm trying to be snarky, it was just funny to be in two minorities with contradicting significance for the developer.


You want accessibility but don't want to test for it.
