Introduction

The new tabbrowser XUL construct introduced in bug 347930 poses several changes to accessibility hierarchies and behaviour that need to be both fixed AND evangelized to screen reader and other assistive technology vendors.

This page was created to track progress and bugs related to this new feature.

Bugs

• bug 552944 - having to do with new relations between xul:tabs and xul:tabbrowser.
• bug 552964 - having to do with getting a name for the tablist from the @tooltip attribute which points to a xul:tooltip element. Also needs to set the labelling/labelled_by relationships.
• bug 552968 - which covers exposure of the fact that each individual tab has a context menu attached.
