1209049 - [Accessibility] Improve discover-ability of the screen reader at the FTU stage.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::First Time Experience, defect)

Description

[Yura Zenevich [:yzen] (please use "needinfo")]

If the user stays in the welcome page for more than 15 seconds, there is an announcement "press volume up then volume down 3 times to start the screen reader". This allows users who are visually impaired to discover the screen reader on their own without sighted assistance.

This patch lack a way to disable this warning message definitely.
So far 15 seconds is too small that it triggers quite frequently in my automation devices (which is on my desk).

As a work-around, I will locally set the setting  "accessibility.screenreader-ftu-timeout-seconds" to 2147483 (24.8 days), which is the maximal value without overflow in setTimeout.

1215216 will fix the bug where this screenreader announcement plays every time the device starts - it should only do this on the first time of use after flashing. But if your automation starts with a fresh profile and doesn't skip FTU, it is expected that the screenreader starts talking at you after 15 seconds. Maxing out the timeout is probably your best option at that point.
