Hm, for some reason the link in questions does not appear in Fx as it was visited so VO still reads it as link, You visited this link. do you know something about this?

Oops sorry, that example turned out to be profile-specific. You can reproduce with this though:

1. Navigate to https://google.com
2. Navigate to data:text/html,<a href="https://www.google.com/">I am a visited link</a>

Expected: VO reports visited link

Thanks Morgan for the extra info.

Using both old Nightly, latest Nightly 78.0a1 and Beta 77.0b4 I saw that after focusing on the web content with VO and doing Control-Option-Shift-Down to focus on the hyperlink, VO will say In visited, link, I am a visited link I am a visited link, clickable In visited, link, I am a visited link I am a visited link, clickable If I click on left, right arrow I VO will say I am a visited link, clickable.

Not sure if the above is expected since both Chrome and Safari will say visited, link, I am a visited link.

I think this is a separate issue; if you run this:
data:text/html,this is some other text<a href="https://www.google.com/">I am a visited link</a>, the first "this is some other text" gets the same repetition applied, while the visited link stuff matches Safari. I'll file a bug for the repetition issue, thanks for noting that :)

No worries. I will go ahead and close this bug since the visited status is now announced by VO.
