The lack of the semantic styling in the High Contrast Mode (HCM) is an access-S3 issue since it makes it difficult to discern which element is, in fact, an active UI and could be activated if clicked, for HCM users (those with low vision, users with cognitive disabilities, users with dyslexia, with colorblindness, and others).

This appears to be an accessibility issue on the side of the chatbot service. Firefox team is going to pass this information to the provider, but until it is resolved, I'm marking this bug as stalled.

It seems that this is the same button that is being focused as described in the bug 1905703 and is not labelled as described in the bug 1906676 - it either needs to be fixed in the forced-colors media query (HCM on Win) and programmatically labelled, or it should be display:noneed to be removed from both the DOM and Accessibility Tree.

The severity field for this bug is set to S4. However, the accessibility severity is higher, .
:tarek, could you consider increasing the severity?
