User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

Opened bookmarks window to try to sync.

(Which succeeded, after I took this screenshot.)

Actual results:

See screenshot.

Expected results:

The actual list should be visible.

To make things more readable, I've reduced resolution to 1152 x 648.

To make things more readable, I've increased font sizes and spacing. Here are relevant parts of userChrome.css:

/* Global UI font */

• { font-family: Andika !important; }
• { font-size: 16pt !important; }
  #urlbar { height: 20pt }

/* Bookmarks spacing */
#placeContent treechildren::-moz-tree-row {
min-height: 24pt !important;
maxn-height: 24pt !important;
}

I have trouble reading on any monitor without similar fixes.

This is a valid concern, but it will always be possible to set fonts large enough and resolution small enough to cause it, whatever we do.

I think the only plausible long term solution here would be to redesign the Library in-content, that unfortunately is not on track yet.

Updating the Accessibility Team's impact assessment to conform with the new triage guidelines. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Accessibility/Triage for descriptions of these whiteboard flags.
