Steps to reproduce:
<div role="paragraph"></div>
In firefox on windows
Actual results:
As you can see, maps to MSAA role "paragraph": https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/accessible/base/RoleMap.h#1006
Expected results:
Should map to "ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT": https://www.w3.org/TR/core-aam-1.2/#role-map-paragraph

The same issue was filed on chrome, and was marked as "wontfix", instead requesting the specification to be updated to "ROLE_SYSTEM_GROUPING":

I entirely agree with Chrome here. We shouldn't be mapping things other than editable/navigable text controls to ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT.

For MSAA, it currently maps to the string "p". This will be fixed as part of bug 798492. It's low priority, though, since anyone wanting proper semantics on the web is going to use IA2 or UIA, not MSAA.

Oh, I see what you mean. role="paragraph" maps to the string role "paragraph". HTML <p> maps to the string role "p". Either way, both of these will be covered by bug 798492.
