Please Note: expected behavior seen in VoiceOver with Safari. Also, Firefox on Windows with JAWS moves to these checkboxes with the "x" when in Virtual PC Cursor.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Disability Access APIs' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

I can confirm this issue (setting bug status to New) with today's Nightly. We do not seem to support this use case yet. Morgan, is this something we just don't support yet?

Hi, thanks for flagging :) I think this is part of quick nav, which we don't support yet. I can look into how involved it'd be to implement though :)
