1882564 - Urlbar-zoom-button lacks an informative accessible name for a browser zoom reset control

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P3)

Description

[Anna Yeddi [:ayeddi]]

Attachment: image.png

The urlbar-zoom-button is currently labeled with only the on-screen text (which shows the current zoom level set, i.e. 120%) while the purpose of this control is to reset the zoom level to 100%.

STR:

1. Ensure a screen reader is running
2. Change a browser zoom level via ctrl and + or - combination or via the browser main menu
3. Confirm the browser zoom level badge was added to the Url Bar
4. Navigate to the browser zoom level badge with a screen reader and observe an announcement

Expected:

1. From the label of this button it is clear that activating this control would set the browser zoom level to 100% / reset it. Also, the context is clear, i.e. 90%, Reset zoom level, button or similar

Current:

1. The control is announced as {current level}, button, i.e. 90%, button - no indication that activation of this control would reset the value to 100% and no context of the meaning of this value is provided.

Since the context is also missing and the tooltip is not announced, bumping it to access-s2

Anna, would you have anyone interested into fixing this, or should the Search team schedule time to address it in the future?

We don't have anyone on the a11y team with cycles to fix this at this stage. It'd be great if the Search team can fix this when feasible. Thanks!

There is an r+ patch which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:yazan, could you have a look please?
If you still have some work to do, you can add an action "Plan Changes" in Phabricator.
