765901 - the menu-button is inaccessible

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Isac Lagerblad (:icaaq)]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0a1
Build ID: 20120618030531

Steps to reproduce:

1. When using a screen reader Press Cmd+N to open a new browser window, then type https://marketplace.mozilla.org/en-US/ in the address bar and press Enter
2. Navigate yourself to the menu-button


Actual results:

No descriptive information is announced when the link receives focus and/or is opened/closed


Expected results:

1. The screen reader user should be informed what the purpose of the link is.
2. The menu-button should have a collection of aria attributes to make it more accessible. Look at the social share button on http://people.mozilla.org/~pmclanahan/collusion/ for a good example of making it more accessible.

If you mark the bug fixed then you need to provide a bug number that has a fix. Also it's not clear whether address bar or menu-button was redesigned. In the former case this bug is not fixed. Please clarify.
