Re: Intro and gnopernicus question

For an application to be accessible it must be a GNOME 2.x application.

I am not sure what the accessible state of mozilla is. I know that it is 
being worked on but I do not know whether the version you have is 
accessible.

I do not think that recompiling will help make applications accessible.
