Steps to reproduce:

<div role="caption"></div>

In firefox on windows

Actual results:

As you can see, maps to MSAA role "caption": https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/accessible/base/RoleMap.h#1056

Expected results:

Should map to "ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT": https://www.w3.org/TR/core-aam-1.2/#role-map-caption

I don't think we should be mapping this to ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT, as that is too easily confused with editable/navigable text. ROLE_SYSTEM_GROUPING is probably the best we could get here.

This will be covered by bug 798492.
