Hello,

I went with the regression as far back as 2016 and concluded that in those builds, NVDA did not narrate anything contained in the Netflix page. Since the 2017 builds, the above described issue started occuring, so this issue is not a regression.
Marking it accordingly.

I think this is something that needs to be addressed in the various screen readers, rather than in Firefox. What's happening here is that each show is a link containing an image. The image doesn't have alt text, which is arguably an authoring error. However, the link has an aria-label, which overrides the image, at least for users using NVDA browse mode with the keyboard (not the mouse). Distilled test case:

data:text/html,<a href="https://mozilla.org/" aria-label="Test"><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/100x100"></a>

Observe that if you use the arrow keys with NVDA, you get "Test", but with the mouse, you get "https://mozilla.org/".

Closing wontfix because this is not something that Firefox needs to address.
