Steps to reproduce:
Few websites are universally accessible.
Firefox can override some standard design decisions, to make some websites more accessible for more users.
Firefox may not yet be able to override others, but please don't close the corresponding bugs, throw up your hands, and ask disabled users to contact all the web developers.
If we're supposed to use this: https://webcompat.com/issues/new it's not accessible.

Hello I have tried to reproduce the issue using Fx 86.0a1(2021-01-24) on macOS 10.15. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. If you could please answer the following questions in order to continue investigating this issue.
- Could you provide a list with the sites were you encountered the issue?
- Does this issue reproduce with a fresh profile? Here is a link on how to create a fresh profile:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles - Does this issue reproduce with the latest nightly profile? Here is a link from where you can download it:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/ - Do you have any add-ons installed? If so could you please list them?
I cannot use a new profile without getting hurt by the default settings. bug 1579148
I don't know how to list all the safety fixes I need to use Firefox without getting hurt. These include about:config fixes, user css, and add-ons.

As a person with a disability myself, I understand your frustration. However, this bug tracker is about bugs in Firefox and Firefox contributors can only fix bugs in Firefox. We can't fix bugs in websites. If a bug report is not about something we can feasibly fix in Firefox, there is nothing we can do, so leaving it open doesn't serve anyone.
On the flip side, your bug 1725474 may well have a path forward which might address at least some of the problems you describe there, which is why it will remain open.
