Research direction

Locate the sidemenu JavaScript and the .mzp-c-sidemenu-main element, then compare the behavior with related issue 847. Verify how aria-expanded is applied and how the desktop state is represented. Done means the attribute is no longer incorrectly applied to the main content and the desktop content remains expanded by default.

Description

Bug :beetle:

Description

Similar to https://github.com/mozilla/protocol/issues/847, the aria-expanded attribute is being applied incorrectly to the side menu component.

This role should be declared on a controlling element like a button or link and must be used with aria-controls. Also, on desktop this content is expanded by default so it should not be false.
