Expected behavior

No suggestions are made.

Actual behavior

This item's height is 23dp. Consider making the height of this touch target 48dp or larger.

Device information

  • Firefox version: Firefox Nightly 128 (2024-06-05)
  • Android device model: Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
  • Android OS version: Android 12

As Vasilica mentioned above, it's expected that interactive target areas are to be 48dp or larger to allow users with limited dexterity and users on the go to better target and tap controls (per WCAG 2.2 Level AAA Success Criteria 2.5.5 and 2.5.8 Target Size (Enhanced and Minimum)). More details could be found in BBC Accessibility guide.

Accessibility Severity: --- → s3

Updating the accessibility severity to access-s4 because in this specific case, the row under the tab title (the URL/domain of the page) should have the same target as the title, thus extending the interactive area for the same target.

Accessibility Severity: s3 → s4
