Personalize the Toolbar with Internet Explorer.

You can customize the toolbar by adding or removing buttons, changing the size of icons, and showing or hiding the text on labels.
Just right-click the toolbar, and then click Customize.
If you have low vision, you might want to add the Size button for quick access to the relative font size.
If you are using a screen reader, you might want to select Small Icons in the Icon Options list, and No text labels in the Text Options list to maximize the amount of screen space available for Web content.

Advanced options that make Internet Explorer more accessible.

  • On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, and then click the Advanced tab.
  • Change the following settings as needed:
    Move system caret with focus/selection changes
    If you use a screen reader, you might want to select this check box. Some screen readers or screen magnifiers use the system caret to determine which area of the screen to read or magnify.
    Always expand alt text for images
    Select this check box if you rely on alternate (ALT) text instead of viewing the actual pictures (that is, you've cleared the Show pictures check box). This ensures that the text is not cut off if the amount of text is larger than the image area.
    Use smooth scrolling and Enable page transitions
    If you use a screen magnification or screen reader program, you might want to clear these check boxes. If you use a voice recognition program, and you experience recognition errors during smooth scrolling and transitions, you might also want to clear these check boxes.
    Show pictures, Play animations, and Play videos
    If you have low vision, you might want to clear these check boxes to improve performance. If you are sensitive to screen flashing, you might also want to clear these check boxes.
    Play sounds
    If you have cognitive disabilities, you might want to clear this check box to prevent distractions. If you are blind, you might want to clear this check box or selectively download sounds so that they do not interfere with a screen reader reading text aloud.
    Print background colors and images
    If you have low vision, you might want to clear this check box to improve print legibility..

Instructions for changing the fonts and background colours of a web page with Firefox 1.x and later versions.

Changing predefined fonts in Firefox
Normally, the web pages are viewed using the predefined font of the browser , or a font chosen by the author of the page.
In Firefox the user is given the possibility to change the predefined fonts, with the following procedure:

  • Open the Tools menu and choose Options (for Mac OS: open the Firefox Menu and choose Preferences);
  • Open the Content group;
  • Choose the favourite settings, also through "Advanced" tab, if you are an advanced user.

Many web page authors directly choose the font and size for the text viewed in the pages they have created. To ignore the settings of the author, click "Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts."

Changing Colors or Backgrounds in Firefox.
Normally, the background and text colours of web pages are determined by the browser settings, or by the authors of the pages.
However, it is possible to change the predefined colours of a website with the following procedure:

  • Open the Tools menu and choose Options (for Mac OS: open the Firefox Menu and choose Preferences);
  • Open the Content group and choose Colours;
  • Click on the coloured blocks near "Text", "Background", "Unvisited Links" and "Visited Links".

Choose the desired colour for each element. It is also possible to specify if the links should be underlined or not.
