Mobile style internet in forefox

[Aidan Payne]

Hi Matthew,

I am a support worker for a disabled gentleman who has limited use of his hands but who wishes to access the internet.

He uses a system called 'mytobii' which allows him to control his computer using his eye movements through a program called 'the grid'. This system does have various limitations, largely based around the fact that websites are designed for people using mice, where the mytobii system does not allow for this level of precision in control.

I am charged with trying to make this system as simple as possible for Pete to use as he has also has some cognitive diffuculties as part of his disability.

I wan't to be able to access the simplified versions of websites I find when I browse the internet on my mobile phone, only through firefox. Is there a way to set this option as the default? I stubled across your firefox addon but am having some problems installing it. I've tried installing it on several versions of firefox but none seem to give me the button on the toolbar which is shown in the picture on your add-ons page.

I would appreciate your advice on this. I think this add on has the potential to really help Pete access the internet.

Kind Regards

Aidan

The button is available if you right-click on the Toolbar area and
select "Customize". In the window which opens, the button should appear
(with the text "WML mode") - this can then be dragged on to the toolbar
and used from there.

Alternatively, the option is available through Add-Ons / wmlbrowser /
Options / "Tell web sites that the browser understands WML content".
