1884278 - Add an exception from a11y_checks for clicks on a not focusable pinned media button on Firefox View

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Firefox View, task, P3)

Description

[Anna Yeddi [:ayeddi]]

The Firefox View tests, i.e. browser/components/firefoxview/tests/browser/browser_opentabs_pinned_tabs.js:test_mute_unmute_pinned_tab sends a click on a pinned mute/unmute control that is intentionally made not focusable to follow the existent tab panel behavior.

A keyboard-only user could mute/unmute this pinned tab via the context menu, while we do not want to create an additional, unnecessary tabstop for this control as well. Thus we add an exception from the a11y_checks for this tests via setEnv and remove the fail-if notation from its test manifest.

The a11y-checks is currently reporting:
Node is not focusable via the accessibility API: id: fxview-tab-row-media-button, tagName: BUTTON, className: fxview-tab-row-pinned-media-button -
