LowVision is a Firefox Add-on from Lighthouse International that according to Usability News will:
...is the first program to enable people with moderate or severe low vision to both view web pages as the original web author intended and read the text on those pages tailored to their own visual needs.
This compliments the existing provision of several low cost Open Source add-ons for blind people and will help meet the need of many older people who want access the web without the aid of expensive screen magnifing equipment.
Firefox is becoming a rich platform for accessibility with an ever growing collection of accessibility add-ons, while the accessibility team work closely with Assitive Technology vendors and projects like Orca, NVDA and Jaws in order to ensure easy access to the Open Web.
There are few available details and no screen shots but LowBrowse is expected to be available on the official Firefox add-on site at the end of this year.
