I also had used the Windows stand-alone version for several years. Last year (tax year 2011), I used the online web site from a Linux box using Firefox. Accessibility was fine.
However, I ran into a CAPTCHA at the time of filing! Thankfully, I was on Firefox and could use Webvisum to complete. I bitched to them in a comment at the end of the session to tell them they should get rid of the CAPTCHA. I can't see where that prevents anything after filling out a complete tax return. Come on folks, get rid of CAPTCHA once and for all! I think it would be interesting to use Safari this year as long as they don't pop up with that damnable CAPTCHA again.
