1846607 - Change "Open menu" strings for more menu's to give more context

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Firefox View, defect)

set browser.tabs.firefox-view-next to true to access FirefoxView-Next

Meatballs sub-menu controls in the Tabs from other devices (barring bug 1846598 fix) and History sections have tooltips and accessible names of Open menu, but since these buttons have aria-haspopup set to menu they are announced by screen readers as menu buttons (as expected).

This creates redundant announcements like subMenu, Open menu, button by NVDA on Windows or Open menu, menu pop up, button by VoiceOver on MacOS.

At the same time, these labels do not provide any context into which actual tab/site they would apply should a user activate them:

1. the user would have to memorize the name of the tab/site before navigating to the appropriate control
2. the user won't be able to use a shortcut provided by their assistive technology to quickly activate a control (i.e. in a list of buttons provided by their screen reader there will be hundreds of Open menus or a voice control user won't be able to activate a control with only one command)

Maybe, these menu buttons could be renamed to More for {title} or More, {title}, for instance? This would remove the redundancy and increase the value to assistive technology users, since the menu button itself implies that it would open a menu, thus no need to explicitly label it in that way.

Perhaps More options for {title}?

Comment 3

This patch for this bug should update more menu strings for all sections that use this menu. Tabs from other devices has incorrect tooltips and accessible names (see bug 1846598 for details, which I've made a dupe of since this can address all issues in one go).

Comment 4

After discussing with Anna, we are aligned to this:

Options for {title}

Because the three-dot menu is housing all of the options, saying "more" is not necessary.
