Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Firefox Nightly and navigate to Account settings.
2. Swipe until focus lands on Sync now ("Sync now, Last synced: X minutes ago").
3. Double-tap to activate the button.
4. Listen to the TalkBack speech output during and after the sync operation.

Actual Result:

TalkBack reads "Syncing..." when the action starts. When the sync completes and the button text updates back to "Sync now, Last synced: 0 minutes ago", TalkBack remains completely silent. No completion or status message is announced to the user.

Expected Result:

TalkBack provides an accessibility status announcement when synchronization completes (e.g., announcing "Sync complete" or utilizing an accessibility live region / announceForAccessibility("Sync finished")) so users know the operation was successful without having to move focus.
