User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

Visit the following reduced test case:
https://codepen.io/scottohara/full/qgPrvx

With TalkBack (7.2 on Android 8.1) on, swipe into the text input.

Exact Firefox version: 64.0.2

Actual results:

TalkBack announces "Entry Test. Double tap to enter text"

Expected results:

The content referenced by aria-describedby "Fill me out!" should have been announced as the accessible description of the text field.

For comparison, Chrome + TalkBack announces:
"Edit box, Test. Fill me out! Double tap to enter text."

I was able to reproduce the issue on the latest Nightly 67.0a1 (2019-02-06) and Beta 66.0b5 with Sony Xperia Z2 (Android 6.0.1).
I will confirm the issue.

Thank you for your report!

Hi Mike,
Any actionable things here as I think this goes under WebCompat?

Component: General → Mobile
Flags: needinfo?(miket)
Product: Firefox for Android → Tech Evangelism

This would be a core issue, not a webcompat one (unless it's relying on a non-standard feature, or treating Firefox differently).

Jamie, is this a known issue?

Component: Mobile → Disability Access APIs
Flags: needinfo?(miket) → needinfo?(jteh)
Product: Tech Evangelism → Core

Thanks. I don't think we have a bug on file for this. Eitan, is this a regression with the new a11y implementation or has this always been a bug?

Flags: needinfo?(jteh) → needinfo?(eitan)
Priority: -- → P2

Yeah, that should be implemented.

Is it a regression? I'm not sure. But let's fix it anyway.

Do you think this is safe for beta uplift or shall we let it ride to release in 67?

Let's let this ride.
