I am also able to reproduce this using Firefox Nightly 138.0a1 (2025-03-12), on macOS 13 for the "Export passwords" and "Remove all passwords" prompts. The content of the prompts is read twice by the VoiceOver (see the screen recording here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19Y5jDO6Ahucyqz-b_727huO7BsdflO_c/view?usp=sharing).

It seems like VoiceOver is announcing the content of the focused element, which I believe is expected. I'm not seeing the buttons being announced twice when testing this in the latest Nightly.

It seems like VoiceOver is announcing the content of the focused element, which I believe is expected. I'm not seeing the buttons being announced twice when testing this in the latest Nightly.

I’ve retested this issue on the latest Nightly 140.0a1 using macOS 15 with VoiceOver enabled, and the issue is no longer reproducible. Closing as WORKSFORME.
