Two weeks ago, I wrote about the challenges of add-on compatibility when upgrading to new versions of Firefox.  My post elicited an extremely helpful response from Ira Socol about a resource he has facilitated with MITS (Michigan Integrated Technology Supports).

For anyone looking for add-ons that make web browsing more accessible with Firefox, most of the hard work has been done by Ira and MITS.  Add-ons have been located and helpfully placed on a single page from which they can be downloaded and installed.  All of the listed add-ons work with Firefox 3.613, and most work with the beta version of Firefox 4.

There are separate pages for the Mac and PC versions of Firefox.  Clicking on the appropriate symbol below will take you to the option you want.

The collections include 21 options for the PC and 22 for the Mac.  These  add-ons support a wide range of needs, and  I believe anyone who supports learners should check them out.  All learners deserve to be given the opportunity to try as many supports as possible.  Each individual learns uniquely, so it is dangerous and wrong to assume that any learner does not face learning challenges of some sort.

Among the listed add-ons, there are supports to help with physical and vision challenges, supports for reading, supports for doing maths, and much more.  As time permits, I hope to highlight some of the specific add-ons.  The images below offer at least a glimpse of what is available.
