Steve, one of the founder members of OATS, has been given the remit to improve the accessibility of Firefox - a leading web browser - for switch users.  This represents an important step in considering the needs of switch users in mainstream software.

Firefox is an open-source web browser and rival to Microsoft's Internet Explorer and this grant helps demonstrate the potential benefits of open source software in terms of encouraging innovation, accessibility and social conscience.
