I suspect it would be possible to fix this by providing an empty <title> for the page, I'll try that.

No luck with adding an empty (or non-empty) title.

I'm not sure what's causing NVDA to not get the info for the actual content under the cursor, I'll dig into how it's figuring that out. Fixing this will probably also fix bug 1632453.

Silly me, I wasn't listening to the whole message, it is reading out the file name of the background image. I'll add a role="presentation" for the image. (unfortunately this doesn't fix the button in bug 1632453)

In particular this stops NVDA from reading out the full path of the background image on every
mouseover.

Tested this again using the latest Fx77.0a1.
The screen reader tool (NVDA) no longer reads the path to the background image when it is hovered over. Marking the issue as verified fixed.
