This is probably from the <legend> for screen readers. https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/477950cf9ca9c9bb5ff6f34e0d0f6ca4718ea798/browser/components/newtab/content-src/aboutwelcome/components/Colorways.jsx#91

Although unclear if that's even necessary as the screen already has the same text in the visible subtitle? (I would guess that gets read out twice?)

I kept the legend, though I can see how it might be redundant. I figured it may be useful for giving context to the row of theme tiles since the block describing the selected theme comes between the tiles and the subtitle.

I have verified this issue following the steps provided in the description, on the latest Beta 96.0b2 (Build ID: 20211207185904) and latest Nightly 97.0a1 (Build ID: 20211207155117) on macOS 11.6.1, Linux MX-21, and Windows 10 x64.

• The mouse cursor no longer changes into a text selector when hovering between the colorways, on the “Life in color” panel.

Hello @Punam,
Do we consider this issue as a possible candidate for the next dot release for Firefox 95? If not, could you please mark the status for Fx 95 as WONTFIX?

This fix is good to ride release trains and not a blocker for 95 thanks
