Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a webpage in Firefox
2. Launch VoiceOver (e.g. triple-click on Home button)
3. Put VoiceOver cursor on the "Reload" button in the bottom toolbar, let it read "Reload" and hear what it reads after a while.


Actual results:

It reads "Tap to reload the page."


Expected results:

It should read "Reloads the page."
1. With VoiceOver, it's double-tap, not single tap like without VoiceOver
2. accessibility hint should not be imperative - see "Discussion" for accessibilityHint at https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIAccessibility_Protocol/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/NSObject/accessibilityHint
3. It should not repeat the action taken to activate the item (i.e. should not mention any kind of "tapping"

Note that the long-press hints for for back and forward buttons indicated explicit action to be taken ("double tap and hold") as that is the non-default action and quite rare for VoiceOver users, so explicit guidance is needed. (writing about it now, I am thinking if the hint there can be made non-imperative; I just borrowed it from Safari...)

Also there is a question whether the hint is needed at all (i.e. if "Reload, button" is sufficient to not require further hints to what the UI element does).
