Comment:

 Using the menu, menubar or menuitem role is
 [https://adrianroselli.com/2017/10/dont-use-aria-menu-roles-for-site-
 nav.html not appropriate for a navigation menu]. However, I made
 [attachment:"34668.2.patch"] to find out if adding the menuitem role to
 the top-level parent links might help anyway.

 With NVDA and Firefox, the patch toggles those links when pressing the
 Enter key on its own. If people want to follow the My Sites link instead
 of toggling, though, they can use either `Shift + Enter` or `Ctrl + Enter`
 to open it in a new tab or window. The mouse/pointer interaction would
 remain the same as it has been.

 We may also want to consider opening submenus on focus like in the side
 admin menu (comment:8).
