Web/Push Notifications and Accessibility
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any information or support available regarding Accessibility features with respect to Web Notifications on Firefox. We are trying to implement Web Notifications and are unable to use keyboard to get focus to the web notification in the bottom right. We can though access the Accept/Block popup that requests the permission to allow notifications. We believe it is a very important ability to support people with disabilities. Thanks in advance

Web notifications from where and what site are you referring to?
We are in the development phase and the functionality is in one of our test environments. We are using Notification API to generate web notifications. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification
While testing for accessibility, we discovered that the accessibility tool is unable to access the Notification using the keyboard which would cause issues for people with disabilities who use keyboard and other devices like screen readers to browse through websites.
While researching we are unable to find any details on how Notification API complies with/supports Accessibility requirements
Try to ask advice at the Stack Overflow forum site.

Isn't this the forum for Firefox browser/feature support?
You are trying to implement notification features and I don't think that there are a lot of users around that know enough about notifications and accessibility to be able to answer this. Notifications are possibly handed over to the OS to be handled natively and thus might be out of control in Firefox. At Stack Overflow there might be people around that know more about this.
