1236887 - "Request Desktop Site" not sufficiently presented for accessibility (should use UIAccessibilityCustomAction)

Status: NEW

(Firefox for iOS :: Browser, defect)

Description

[Boris Dušek]

Firefox for iOS 1.3 introduced long-press on Reload button showing an action sheet with "Request Desktop Site" item.

The availability of long-press action is not advertised to VoiceOver users (and long-press is a little bit non-native for them anyway), that could be done through accessibilityHelp on the "Reload" button.

Even better would be to present it as a UIAccessibilityCustomAction, so that "Request Desktop Site" it is available directly as a sort of "context menu" on the "Reload" button, in a way that is "native" for VoiceOver users.

For Switch Control users, UIAccessibilityCustomAction will also improve the situation as they will not have to seek the "Long Press" gesture in the Switch Control menu 1-2 levels deep in the Switch Control UI, but will have the "Request Desktop Site" action directly available next to the option to activate the "Reload" button, thus significantly improving their efficiency.
