User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

Steps to reproduce:

Checked for accessibility issues (in developer tools) on a site I was hosting locally on http://localhost:3000

or

right clicked on any link and "Inspect accessibility properties" and got to the accessibility tree and properties

Actual results:

All links of mine, otherwise totally valid, were reported as failing accessibility check for Text Labels and Names; "Interactive elements must be labeled"

Expected results:

Valid links with text inside (<a href="https://example.com">Visit Example.com</a>) should not fail accessibility validation. Seems like this is only a problem on localhost though.

Firefox version 90.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10.

This seems to happen for the "Skip to main content" link on Google Search result pages as well. I took a quick look at the code and I can't quite figure out why yet. I'm not sure if these two things are related; we can file a separate bug if they're not.
