Navigate page by form fields until you reach:
type="text" with placeholder
Expected: For NVDA to indicate placeholder, which is "some text". Placeholder should be cleared when activating focus mode or typing text into field.
Actual: NVDA treats edit box as a regular edit field, which has an autocomplete.

Firefox uses the placeholder text as the label of the object if the label is otherwise unspecified. Since the label is specified, the placeholder is arguably not useful. However, another thought was to expose the placeholder as the description of the object. This latter part doesn't seem to have been implemented. See MozillaBug:545817.
I'm not sure if this is really necessary. Is there a real world use case for having both a label and a placeholder which differ?
In any case, any change needs to be made by Mozilla.
