The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Disability Access APIs' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This is due to Firefox calculating name from content for listitems. There are some ARIA spec issues that need to be sorted out here. Neither Firefox nor Chrome strictly comply with the spec:

1. The spec says name should never be calculated from content for listitems. However, there are some real world use cases where this has been problematic.
2. Firefox always calculates name from content for listitems.
3. Chrome calculates name from content for listitems, but only when the listitem is tabbable or focused.
