Does anyone else look over the Firefox release notes for developers and find themselves like kids in a toy store?

Firefox 104  now supports the  option.focusVisible parameter for HTMLElement.focus().   option.focusVisible can be used to force a browser to display a visible indicator when an element has programmatically been given focus.

I've been working on creating some accessibility-enhanced ILLiad web templates for 9.0 version of OCLC's web templates.

The recently released 9.2 web templates are markedly better, but still could be improved a bit, so I've been working on 9.2 templates with improved accessibility.
