Status: RESOLVED FIXED

STR:

1. Ensure a screen reader is running
2. From any site, open a new Report Broken Site tool (i.e. via URL bar > Enhanced Tracking Protection > Report Broken Site)
3. Navigate to URL input field and observe the announcement of a screen reader
4. Navigate to Describe the problem (optional) textarea and observe the announcement of a screen reader

Expected:

1. Screen reader is announcing the on-screen label for both fields, when they are focused

Actual:

1. Screen reader announces only the role of the field, when focused with Tab keypress

If confirmed that the inputs do not have accessible names communicated, this would be an access-S3 bug, it would make it much harder for users of assistive technology to use the tool and the purpose of each input would not be clear.

It is confirmed a bug, I think:

1. Voice Control on macOS does not respond to calling click URL as expected, for instance: it would send a click on the label text, instead of the input
2. When clicking with a mouse on the label text, the adjacent input field is not being focused (good example: Bookmarks bar input fields)
3. NVDA does not announce the label while tabbing between controls too

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Disability Access APIs' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Anna, I think this has been fixed for a while now. Can you double-check?

This has been resolved for a long while. Apologies for the delay in replying...

Confirmed on Win 11 and macOS on the recent Nightly builds 123.0a1 (2024-01-01) that the Report Broken Site tool has all labels programmatically associated with their fields. Thank you for working on it, Thomas!
