5. Reach the Attach File button from the bottom of the panel and observe the screen reader announcement

Expected result

• A meaningful accessible name that is correlates with the visible icon label of the button should be read out loud by screen readers, i.e. Attach file.

Actual result

• There is no label being read out loud by NVDA or Voice Overs for the Attach File button, i.e. VoiceOver announces it as image, button, group

Regression range
Not a regression.

This is an access-S2 issue that makes this part of the UI, especially crucial for an entire feature of the chatbot, inaccessible for users of assistive technologies to use. Learn more about ways to make image buttons accessible in the W3C WAI Tutorials

This appear 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.
