1511075 - cannot reach "Clear Downloads" button in Library > Download with keyboard

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Downloads Panel, defect, P5)

Description

[Michal Stanke (Mozilla.cz) [:mstanke][:MikkCZ]]

Attachment: 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?

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

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.
