Audit finding
The list of extensions is not keyboard operable
User impact
Keyboard-only users and many assistive-technology users may be blocked from operating the interface or completing the task.
Remediation plan
Refactor the interaction so it is fully keyboard operable, uses correct semantics and states, preserves predictable focus movement, and avoids unexpected changes of context.
Steps to reproduce
1. Open the extension list in the Installer Wizard. For example, from "Install from Web" section.
2. Navigate every extension entry and control with the keyboard.
3. Attempt selection, activation, and available actions.
4. Check focus visibility and order.
5. Observe that one or more entries cannot be operated.
6.1
All controls are reachable and operable with keyboard.
The list and grid of extensions consists of clickable < div > elements. Keyboard users are unable to open the extension information and install an extension. The keyboard order skips over most of the UI and only interacts with the link that leads to the external ratings.
