1960624 - Loading website progress is not announced by accessibility services

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Toolbar, defect, P3)

Description

[Petru-Mugurel Lingurar [:petru]]

Attachment: NoProgressRead.mp4

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable Talkback for audio cues about what happens on the screen
2. Load a new web page

Expected behavior

Hear "loading" followed by a series of updates for the progress of loading the web page.

Actual behavior

Only "loading" is heard with no further updates about the progress.

Device information

• Firefox version: 139
• Android device model: Pixel 6a
• Android OS version: 15
• Talkback version: 15.2

Any additional information?

There is a lot of other feedback from Talkback that might overlap these updates.
The isue can be more consistently observed / debugged by using the toolbar sample - After committing a new URL a debug task to generate a series of a11y events is triggered but these are never read by Talkback.
(If needed these can be slowed down to avoid overlapping with others)

Chrome seems to have a similar issue: there a user hears "0 percent: Progress bar" with no other related updates.
