Keyboard Access for Privacy and Security section
I am totally blind, and I am trying to get Firefox accept cookies well enough to work on reputable websites. I found instructions on the web, but I can't make them work without sight. To turn on cookies: list of 5 items 1. Click the menu button. ... 2. Select the Privacy & Security panel and go to the Cookies and Site Data section. 3. Make sure Accept cookies and site data from websites (recommended) is selected. 4. Make sure Accept third-party cookies and site data is set to Always. ... 5. Click Exceptions…. Using only the keyboard, I cannot find the section of which they speak in the above instructions, though I found something called Menu. So how can a totally-blind person reliably reach Security and Privacy section to adjust cookies? I have had a couple of sites pop up an error saying that I apparently have cookies disabled; but I don't remember disabling them, nor do I actually know how to do it. I will appreciate help.

To inspect and modify cookies for the domain in the current tab you can also use "Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions". You can check how that page works for you.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security has this URL: about:preferences#privacy
Manage Exceptions has this keyboard shortcut: Alt+Shift+X You may have to press this keyboard shortcut more than once to go to the next occurrence. You can press the Space bar to open this exception window once the button has focus.
Note that Enhanced Tracking Protection also has a Manage Exceptions button, so make sure you end up at the correct button and possibly use the Tab key to check where you are.
Those option pages are not easy to navigate via the keyboard and I think that there is a lot of improvement possible and necessary.
I hope I can fix the cookie problem. Since I don't have any sighted help at hand, I'll give it a try and hope it works. I do hope that the Firefox development group will look into the needed improvement on these options pages; since they are "word-based" rather than graphical, there ought to be a good way to give us equal access through the keyboard.
