1944268 - Duplicate aria-label and title

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I noticed when looking at bug 1825033 that some Fluent strings are duplicating the aria-label attribute with the title value. This is unnecessary since the title should already act as the accessible name in the absence of aria-label or text content.

Moreover, it is not recommended practice since the title is meant to act as a distinct accessible description when the aria-label is given. Luckily the Firefox implementation removes accessible descriptions that are exact copies of the accessible name. So it is just redundant at the moment.

The title attribute already acts as the accessible name for the anchor
element with no text content.
