Enable Voice Accessibility for Blind Users on GitHub Pages

[QashqAIvoice]

Hello Mozilla Community,

I’m working on a multilingual accessibility project called QashqAI Voice, aimed at preserving endangered dialects and supporting blind users through real-time voice AI. We are using GitHub Pages to deploy voice-enabled tools for visually impaired communities across rural regions.

However, Firefox currently blocks autoplay of audio on GitHub Pages even when it’s the only way blind users can hear the content. Chrome allows this under similar accessibility conditions.

I kindly suggest Mozilla create a voice-accessibility exception for autoplay audio on trusted GitHub Pages that serve assistive technology to blind users.

This would be a major help for low-vision users who cannot navigate to press the play button manually.

Thank you for supporting ethical, inclusive open web technologies.
