Attached image screenshot
From one of sightless users of Firefox, we've got a feedback that the button "Clear Downloads" in Firefox Library is not accessible - does not have any accesskey assigned. It's the button in the top right corner on the attached screenshot. How to find: 1) Open Firefox Library window. (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+H) 2) In the left navigation sidebar go to Downloads. 3) Check the top button "Clear Downloads" in the top right corner (toolbarbutton id "clearDownloadsButton", string "clearDownloadsButton.label" in browser/chrome/browser/downloads/downloads.dtd).
I agree, it is inaccessible if you use keyboard only. Cannot access this button with TAB key and no accesskey is assigned to this button.

Hi there, I think I have a working fix for this bug.

Can I please be assigned to it?

Chaitanya, yes, please take this bug if you have a fix.

It appears this button is not in the tab order at all so completely inaccessible.

Component: Disability Access → Downloads Panel
Summary: "Clear Downloads" button in Library > Download has no accesskey → cannot reach "Clear Downloads" button in Library > Download with keyboard

It looks like the tabbable attribute is set only on Mac, likely by mistake because we do that on toolbarbuttons with type="menu", and this is not one of those. I'm not sure whether that'd be enough, but likely worth for someone to try and see.
The code is here:

Likely this has always been broken, unsetting version flags.
