1893714 - Firefox logo on the about:newtab is hidden from the assistive technology

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, defect, P3)

Description

[Anna Yeddi [:ayeddi]]

Attachment: Firefox logo is not exposed to the assistive technology

The Firefox brand logo is not exposed to the assistive technology, while it does provide meaningful information for the user which is not duplicated in text elsewhere on the page.

Provide a textual alternative to the image, i.e. Firefox - this would ensure screen reader users who cannot see or understand the screen visually would still be provided the same level of assurance and transparency where this whole page is coming from (from the Fx).

I.e. <div class="logo-and-worldmark"> could get role="image" aria-label="Firefox" to achieve that.

Note that this bug is a high severity access-S3 because the lack of the brand information exposure may affect the trust in the content for a screen reader user.
