Dear AG, *TL:DR* - please read the a11y bug report and vote for it if you agree: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1480831 *Initial Response from Jamie at Mozilla *- the W3C name calc spec should be changed, not the FF accessible name calc. So, wise AGers, which is correct? The W3C Accessible Name Calc Spec? Or Firefox Accessibility Inspector? G PS - more detail *Bug Details:* There is a mistake in the way the Firefox Accessibility Inspector is calculating accessible name. It is currently reporting (for a field that only has a placeholder) that the placeholder is the accessible name. Code to test: <input type="text" name="first" placeholder="First Name" id="first"> Sample of code to test: https://codepen.io/goodwitch/pen/OwEmEw Firefox Accessibility Inspector reports this field as having an accessible name of “First Name” *Actual results:* According to the W3C Accessible Name Calc, placeholder is not eligible to be considered when determining the accessible name. https://www.w3.org/TR/accname-1.1/ *Expected results:* Firefox Accessibility Inspector should report the accessible name as null. *glenda sims* <glenda.sims@deque.com>, cpacc <http://www.accessibilityassociation.org/certification> | team a11y lead | 512.963.3773 deque systems <http://www.deque.com> accessibility for good
