1352382 - Screen reader doesn't work properly on Mac OS

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect, P5)

Description

[Hani Yacoub, Desktop QA]

[Affected versions]: 
Nightly 55.0a1, Aurora 54.0a2 and Beta 53.0b8

[Affected platforms]:
All platforms: Mac OS X 10.12, Mac OS X 10.11, Mac OS X 10.10

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Use "Voice Over" which is already installed. System Preferences> Accesibility> Voice Over> "Enable Voice Over" and start the screen reader tool.
2. Go to permission.site
3. Click on Camera + Microphone
4. Hover with the mouse over the Control center.

[Expected result]:
A pop-up containing message "Will you allow people.mozilla.org to use your camera and microphone?" is displayed and the screen reader tool informs the user that the permission prompt is displayed.
When hovering over the permission the screen reader informs you about the drop downs(Camera/Microphone to share), checkbox and both buttons.

[Actual result]:
The screen reader informs the user only about the drop downs(Camera/Microphone to share).

Marco, isn't this a platform issue, ie isn't our voiceover support just still lacking?

Correct, and I currently don't see this changing anytime soon.
