Steps to reproduce:

Firefox should add support for the prefers-reduced-transparency media query.

Actual results:

Not sure on other OSs but macOS and I believe iOS expose an option for reducing transparency. Currently this cannot be applied to web content.

Hi Luke,

Thanks for your report.

This could be a good enhancement, hopefully it will be taken into consideration in the future.
I'll add this request to the Firefox: Disability Access component for visibility.

Regards,
Virginia

Moved to CSS component as this is where the feature is for. MDN page for prefers-reduced-transparency does not exist yet, PR: https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/25289

Implemented the prefers-reduced-transparency media query for all
platforms.

Windows and Mac have specific settings which are used, others (Android
and Linux/GTK) have it enabled if prefers-reduced-motion is also enabled
as there is no dedicated setting to check.

There are no WPT tests yet, they are added upstream in:
https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/38954
(We would pass all.)

Locked behind new flag layout.css.prefers-reduced-transparency.enabled,
off by default always for now.

Is this something we wanted to add to the Fx113 release notes?

Comment 9

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez (:emilio)]

It's disabled by default for now (see intent to prototype+ship in dev-platform). So probably not (yet).

Indeed, see Bug 1822176 for (potential) enabling and intent to prototype here: https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-platform/c/l410J8odZjA/m/5Bdnh9sKBQAJ

Hello CanadaHonk [:canadahonk], could you take a look at the PR you opened for adding the prefers-reduced-transparency page to MDN. The PR is out of draft now and 'ready for review' and there are some comments to be resolved before it can be merged. Thank you!
