I have multiple sensory issues, and bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, etc. can be very painful and sometimes incapacitating for me. I worry backup beepers will get me killed.

A lot of websites *including this support website* use flashing animation, noise, etc., triggered automatically, using autoplay, or triggered by trying to scroll past.

I have separate tools to disable autoplay, to disable animated gifs, etc. I can't understand why (a) Firefox enables these misfeatures and (b) Firefox doesn't include one built-in tool to disable these.

See:


You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

You can look at the Adblock Plus extension if you want to block content.

You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).

You can ask advice at the Adblock Plus forum if you need help to create filter rules to block content.

I looked on accessfirefox, I couldn't find anything there.

I reset fonts and font sizes in the preferences. It doesn't work in every web page, and it breaks some web pages, but zooming doesn't work in every web page either, and it breaks some web pages too, so I think some web pages are just badly designed.

I don't see anything in the adblockplus documentation saying anything about blocking pain bombardment and disabling misfeatures other than ads.

So what does nosquint do that the preferences don't do?

If you would set your own colors and disable website colors then it can be impossible to see buttons that consist of a background image (disabling website colors disables background images). You can also set a default zoom level in NoSquint. NoSquint might work better in cases like this when you have problems with colors that some web pages use or need to zoom text that is too small.

Sorry... but I haven't switched any colors, and I don't understand what you're getting at.

I have sensory issues involving bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, proprioception, and some other stuff. I don't have colorblindness.

I also have a fix to use bigger font sizes to reduce eyestrain. I tried using zoom, but too many websites broke with zoom, it kept reverting, etc. If nosquint does zoom better than the default, nosquint might help with that.

But... I still have sensory issues involving bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, and a lot of other stuff everywhere and online, and I still need fixes ...and I also need people to stop beating me to the ground, but that's beyond Firefox.

Although since I was asking in general, yes that could be usefu for colorblind users.

Right now, I'm using:

Adblock plus

Flashblock

Toggle animated gifs

Zoom Page, which I'm trying as an alternative to the high minimum font size I'd used before.

These aren't enough to block all flashing images/animations/other bugs.

As well as show parent folder for the library.

Animations can be done via JavaScript as well and you would have to block JavaScript in cases like this. Blocking JavaScript can cause issues, so an alternative could be to block images from involved domains if you encounter such issues on pages that you visit frequently. The "Tools > Page Info > Media" would show individual images in such a case or possibly the Inspector via the right-click context menu (Inspect Element).

I just want to be able to use the @#$% web without getting punched with these animations.

And I don't have any idea what the source domains are, and I can't do anything fancy while getting hit, and I can't edit my posts here.

QuickJava has been somewhat helpful, but nothing has been adequate.

Why do web broswers, such as Firefox, enable every new standard misfeature by default, and not enable users to globally disable entire classes of misfeature for accessibility?
