Title:
firefox failed downloads indication has poor visibility and
accessibility
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
In firefox, when a download fails, the download window shows the failed
download.
However, if there are many successful downloads and just one failed download,
the download window has a long list showing just one line for the failed
download among hundreds of similar looking lines of successful downloads. It is
very hard to notice a failed download quickly.
The worst problem is the keyword "Failed" is in very pale grey against
a pure white background - this is not a sensible choice of shading.
Not everybody can see pale grey against white. Please think of people
with visual disabilities! Even for people with normal vision, this
should not be the default shading. Please make it higher contrast. For
example, show the failed downloads in pure red text against a pure
white background and show the successful downloads in pure black text
against a pure white background.
This is affecting firefox 21 in Ubuntu LTS and development versions.
The example list below is obviously displayed in launchpad's own
style, so it is clearer than firefox's, but even so, it suffers from
being badly designed and has poor accessibility.
