Thanks for reporting. I'm totally blind and this video doesn't seem to have audio. Could you clarify exactly what gets reported here? Does the Close button get reported at all or just a confusing chrome:// string with no Close message at all? I just need to work out whether this is an s2 (no Close reported at all) or an s3 (Close is reported but surrounded by spurious other text). Thanks.

Yes, so in the screen recording you can see the speech viewer, when we reach the X close button it will read the entire string of text from chrome:// all the way to the x html

Does NVDA's announcement include "Close button" or is it just the chrome:// stuff?

Yes after all that it says: "Firefox Shopping Document Button Close"
