Just checked in Firefox dev tools: there's a top-level menu for Accessibility, but the panel displays a grayed-out message, "Turn On Accessibility Features" which can't be clicked.
Thanks for pointing out this (future) feature, it sounds very useful. I'll keep an eye out for when it's available.
- philo23 8y agoJust had a quick read, looks like it's available since Firefox v63, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Accessibility_inspector#Accessing_the_Accessibility_Inspector https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Accessibility... It should work though once you click on that button, weird that it doesn't seem to be working for you. Edit: Just read through more of that link, it's got quite a good breakdown of the features on it.
- lioeters 8y agoThank you for the link, I bookmarked it to read more in detail. You're right, that's a nice overview of the features. I've always felt the need to learn more about accessibility (and regularly apply it to what I build). This looks great for the purpose. I found in the browser preferences that I'd checked "Prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser". I had to uncheck it to be able to enable the Accessibility Inspector. Will be exploring it more.

- lioeters 8y agoI appreciate the pointer! Yup, indeed, I'd checked "Prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser". I had to uncheck it to be able to enable the Accessibility Inspector.
