:sbadau, if you think that's a regression, could you try to find a regression range using for example mozregression?

wow, this is very good catch, Simona! Difficult to see focus indications are access-s3 because they make it difficult to navigate but these are not blockers.

The static text within the content is not readable at all - that would be access-s2. @Simona, do you happen to have a bug filed for the insufficient text and button label color contrast? This would apply to both banners on the new page and the first's x control

The severity field for this bug is set to S4. However, the accessibility severity is higher, .
:timhuang, could you consider increasing the severity?
