The `Thought-provoking stories. Learn more` is the only heading that the New Tab page has. 

While there are no other visual headings, there is no requirement to add any other (programmatic) headings (at the same time, the Firefox logo could be made in a heading based on its visual position and importance, as well as the importance of its meaning), but it is expected that the heading hierarchy would be appropriate. Each page has to have one and only one heading level 1 (`<h1>`).

The heading level should be adjusted in this case. I.e. if the Firefox logo is marked up as `<h1>`, the stories heading would be `<h2>`.
The `Thought-provoking stories. Learn more` is the only heading that the New Tab page has. And this heading is `<h3>`.

Per [the WebAIM Screen Reader User Survey #10 results](https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey10/#problematic), `Missing or improper headings` were included in Top-10 list of problematic itemd in the overall rating of difficulty and frustration for screen reader users. [80% of the responders are relying on some form of markup to find information on a lengthy page](https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey10/#finding), among them 71.6% of responders are likely to use headings first. The reported usefulness of heading levels for navigation has increased over time, and [88.8% of respondents find them very or somewhat useful](https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey10/#heading).

While there are no other visual headings, there is no requirement to add any other (programmatic) headings (at the same time, the Firefox logo could be made in a heading based on its visual position and importance, as well as the importance of its meaning), but it is expected that the heading hierarchy would be appropriate. Each page has to have one and only one heading level 1 (`<h1>`). It’s like a title to a book.

The heading level should be adjusted in this case. I.e. if the Firefox logo is marked up as `<h1>`, the stories heading would be `<h2>`.
