Steps to reproduce:

Enable Google voice access accessibility app on Android
Open Firefox on Android
Use voice command in voice access to search for some text via the search bar, eg search for cats

Actual results:

Google voice access says that it cannot find the search bar

Expected results:

After having said what text Google voice access should search for, text should have been entered into the search bar and the search should have been executed.

The search feature of Google voice access works fine with Google Chrome. You tell the voice access to search for some text, and it enters the text into the top search bar and searches for it.

Using Firefox, voice access just tells you that it cannot find the search bar. So you need to enable numbers in order to click The search bar manually, and enter the text there manually.
