1904050 - Current tab on the Tabs Tray is not providing its current/selected state to TalkBack

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: Tabs, defect)

Description

[Nicholas Poon (redirect NI to [e-mail]) [:Nick]]

Steps to reproduce

1. Ensure a TalkBack is running
2. Open Firefox and confirm the a tab is opened
3. If this is a New Tab:
   i. dismiss the keyboard (until the bug 1902757 is resolved) and, if opened, any OMC onboarding notifications or type in any URL
   ii. open any tab, i.e. wikipedia from tiles
4. With TalkBack, navigate to the open tab in the Tabs Tray (in both grid and list view) and observe the TB announcement

Expected behavior

1. The selected or current state of the tab is announced by TB, i.e. for Wikipedia: Wikipedia, selected, tab, Double-tap to activate (it may include additional list announcements like In list that are not in the scope of this bug, a role tab is covered in the bug 1902760)

Actual behavior

1. No state is announced for the current tab, the user would not know which tab is, in fact, opened at the moment. This would be especially severe for multiple opened tab and/or for users with cognitive disabilities.

Any additional information?

Another major browser on the same device does announce the state as Selected tab (which, testing shows, is a part of the accessible name/contentDescription of the control).
