Where's the READ ALOUD function that causes the paged to be READ ALOUD AUTOMATICALLY BY THE SYSTEM. For those who are VISION IMPAIRED? There's also supposed to be a READ ALOUD function that automatically READS ALOUD that which is being displayed on my screen browser pages for VISION IMPAIRED USERS. WHY ISN'T THE LINK VISABLE ON MY PAGE TOP SO I CAN ACTIVATE IT, AND THE PAGE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SCROLL DURING THE AUTO-READ AND HIGHLIGHT TEXT TO MAKE IT EASILY FOLLOWED IF AN ADDED OPTION FOR THIS PURPOSE IS SELECTED. THE TEXT IN THIS DIALOG IS VERY HARD TO READ AS THE TEXT IS TOOOO SMALL, AND SHOULD ALSO REFLOW WHEN I ATTEMPT TO RESIZE TO LARGER TEXT, WHICH I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SET IN OPTIONS ALSO.

Hi

These are not settings in Firefox for Android, they are settings that you can turn on in Android itself.

Open the Android Settings app (typically a cogwheel icon) and search for TalkBack.

This will display the Android Accessibility settings menu. You can read more about how Firefox for Android works with these features at:
