Details

[Affected versions]:

  • Firefox Beta 95.0b2 - Build ID: 20211102190739

[Affected Platforms]:

  • Windows 10 x64
  • macOS 11.6
  • Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon

[Prerequisites]:

  • Have a Firefox profile with the reader.pocket.ctaVersion pref set to cta-only in the "about:config" page.
  • Have a screen reader software installed (e.g. NVDA).

[Steps to reproduce]:

  1. Open the browser with the profile from prerequisites.
  2. Navigate to any website that allows "Reader view" (e.g. https://www.wikipedia.org/).
  3. Click the "Toggle reader view" button from the right part of the "Address Bar".
  4. Navigate through the Pocket modal's elements using the "Tab" key.
  5. Observe the behavior.

[Expected result]:

  • All the elements are successfully recognized by the screen reader.

[Actual result]:

  • Only the CTA button is recognized, but as a link not as a button.

[Notes]:

  • This issue is also reproducible with the Pocket modal with "Recs", however the "Recs" are successfully recognized by the screen reader software.

We will take another look at this post-experiment if there is a wider rollout.
