Details

The pref dom.forms.datetime.timepicker is set to false by default that prevents users from getting a timepicker panel when they fill the <input type=time> (and, if bug 451832 is implemented, <input type=datetime-local> too).

The datepicker a11y bug 1676068 drastically improves the accessibility of spinner widgets that are included on the timepicker panel, thus it appears to be beneficial to show the timepicker that would, among other pros, communicate to a screen reader user what are the minimum and maximum allowed values for each spin button, etc. (the remaining a11y enhancements for the timepicker panel are tracked in the bug 1802201).

This change could increase the adoption of a default time inputs vs custom, rarely accessible ones.

Other browsers like Edge and Chrome (on both macOS and Win) have a timepicker showing by default.

When implemented, the MDN time appearance example may need an updated screenshot as well.
