1846586 - [Win] Each link on the FirefoxView-Next is focused and announced as 3 different links by NVDA

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Firefox View, defect, P3)

Description

[Anna Yeddi [:ayeddi]]

Attachment: NVDA_output_for_multiple_links_within_the_same_link.png

set browser.tabs.firefox-view-next to true and ensure a screen reader (i.e. NVDA) is running

STR:

1. With NVDA running, navigate to View all using the keyboard (Tab)
2. Navigate through the list of links in the browsing mode (by pressing Down Arrow only / bug 1846572)

Expected:

1. Each link is focused and announced as one unified entity: {title}, {URL}, {time}, link

Actual:

1. The default screen reader arrow navigation reads each column within each link individually: {title}, link > {URL}, link > {time}, link which makes them sound like 3 different links, instead of one unified link.
   1. This creates additional cognitive load for a user especially when arrow navigation in browsing mode is the only way to access controls within the list.

This issue may be resolved when keyboard navigation with the screen reader is fixed in bug 1846572
