The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Fenix::Privacy' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Insufficient color contrast is an access-S2 issue that makes this part of the UI inaccessible for users with low vision, users with cognitive disabilities, users with dyslexia, with colorblindness, users with screen glare, etc.

We need to ensure that color contrast of the foreground against background of at least 4.5:1 in luminosity ratio is provided to comply with the minimum WCAG 2.x criterion, color contrast of 7:1 is recommended.

While in this case the color contrast is 4.18:1 which is getting close to the 4.5:1 threshold, it is still hard to read and it would still be flagged by all automatic testing tools, thus marking it as access-S2 nevertheless.

The severity field for this bug is set to S3. However, the accessibility severity is higher, .
:Gela, could you consider increasing the severity?

Verified as fixed in Nightly 139.0a1 from 04/14 with Google Pixel 8 Pro (Android 15). There no recommendations related to background contrast ratio made anymore.

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:rebecatudor273, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?

• If yes, please nominate the patch for beta approval.
• If no, please set status-firefox138 to wontfix.
