1867309 - [Firefox Suggest Contextual Opt-in][macOS] The title and the text description from the Opt-In UI cannot be accessed by a screen reader software on macOS

Status: ASSIGNED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P2)

Description

[Cosmin Muntean [:cmuntean], Ecosystem QA]

[Affected versions]:

• Firefox Beta 121.0b1 - Build ID: 20231120154937
• Firefox Nightly 122.0a1 - Build ID: 20231122095244

[Affected Platforms]:

• macOS 13.1

[Prerequisites]:

• Have a Screen Reader software installed and enabled (I have used VoiceOver on macOS).
• Have a Firefox profile with the following prefs in the "about:config" page:
  browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.contextualOptIn set to true
  browser.search.region set to US

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open the browser using the profile from the prerequisites.
2. Open a New Tab and click the "Address Bar".
3. Navigate through the "Address Bar" dropdown and observe the behavior.

[Expected result]:

• All the elements from the "Opt-In" section are successfully recognized by the screen reader software.

[Actual result]:

• Only the buttons and the "Learn more" hyperlink from the "Opt-In" section are recognized by the screen reader software.

[Notes]:

• This issue is reproducible regardless if the "Opt-In" section is displayed at the top or at the bottom of the "Address Bar" doorhanger.
  This issue is not reproducible on Windows 10 x64 with the built-in screen reader (Narrator) and also on Linux using Orca. All the elements are correctly recognized by the screen reader.
