Thanks for the ping. Marco is our main QA contact for accessibility.

OK, what, exactly, is all meant by "Sync UI"?

Comment 4

[Edwin Wong [:edwong]]

here's some of the sync UI:
* open this URL: about:preferences#sync
* click on the hamburger menu, hover over the two circular arrows - you should see a last sync time tool tip
* There's a sync button in the hamburger menu, you may have to move it out from the customize area.
* we're add a 'synced tabs' button and sidebar that will show tabs from other devices. The button should land this week and the sidebar over the next few weeks.

Report that buttons are not labelled: https://twitter.com/Paul_VICT/status/694891111450570756
"Buttons are in Tools/Sync. Perhaps the IAccessible name property is missing from those buttons."

NI? Marco although he is off this week.

Should this block bug 1227838?

1. Bug 1229206 should take care of the buttons in the sync panel.
2. Yes, this should block. Remote Tabs is part of Sync.
