This seems to be the same on MacOS with or without backplate. I think I mentioned this on slack but never filed a bug. In HCM we don't indicate (idk what to call them) "active" sections. I think this is the same issue that prevents dropdown menu items from being highlighted on mouseover and buttons changing colour indicating "click". I think Edge inherits more styling information from the user's contrast theme on Windows; if you go into `settings > high contrast and ease of access`, there's options for background, text, and links (visited/unvisited) which are all reflected in firefox's colours preferences, but there's also options for buttons and selects which communicate those "active" mouseover/click actions I mentioned earlier. I think we should (a) add more options to the colours menu in firefox preferences and (b) follow edge behaviour in using them.

Another option here would be to invert the user's existing choices to maintain contrast but avoid adding new options in preferences.
This seems to be the same on MacOS with or without backplate. I think I mentioned this on slack as a needed HCM improvement but never filed a bug.
