Add accessibility labels etc. for buttons and other elements whose function is conveyed mostly visually. Also provide VoiceOver scrub gesture where convenient.

Submitted under MPL v2.0 by my employer, A11Y LTD.

Thanks for the quick turnaround. I did:

  • submit the bugs
  • reference them in the title of the PR
  • reference them in individual commit message titles
  • rebased on current master while I was at it
  • added note to this PR that we are OK with MPLv2.0

Please let me know if there is anything else to make a contribution properly, it's my first time contributing to Mozilla. :-)

I made some updates:

  • rebased to latest code
  • reflected latest code (address field becomes address and search field)
  • added accessibility label to avatar image, secure connection image, reader button, search suggestions for search engines

Thanks for the contribution!

Unfortunately, it looks like this got bitrotted by #100. Would you mind rebasing this PR so we can merge it?

Add accessibility labels to elements that use visual cues to fully or
partially communicate their functions:
- back and forward button
- show tabs button
- secure connection
- reader
- address and search text field
- search engine in search suggestion
- avatar
This allows for better VoiceOver user experience as the user does not
have to go to the cancel button in tab bar or to the back button in
toolbar to invoke them and instead can use the scrub gesture from
anywhere.
