Disabled checkboxes however appear the same color as enabled checkboxes. The result is that in high contrast mode, you can't tell the difference between a disabled checkbox and an enabled checkbox. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable high contrast mode 2. View a page with disabled and enabled checkboxes Actual Results: Checkboxes appear the same. Expected Results: Disabled checkboxes should be distinguished from enabled checkboxes.

Using Windows 7 (Maybe others) High Contrast Mode breaks a lot of images on the internet. Bing.com - the main picture image does not load. Google Gmail - all the menu icons have a line through the middle. Also, when trying to compose a new email, all of the editing icons like: BOLD, ITALICS, .... ALIGN CENTER, ALIGN RIGHT are all invisible. One does not have to use high contrast to make the bug happen. Just set Firefox Menu -> TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> CONTENT TAB -> COLORS BUTTON UNCHECK THE BOX: ALLOW PAGES TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN COLOR Try going to Bing.com - the image is also gone as with High Contrast mode. Unfortunately, a High Contrast Windows Theme is not really usable with Firefox because of all the missing/invisible content.
I don't understand comment 4. Even after Just set Firefox Menu -> TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> CONTENT TAB -> COLORS BUTTON UNCHECK THE BOX: ALLOW PAGES TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN COLOR there is no visual difference between an enabled and disabled control in FF16 using High Contrast #1 in windows 7

This actually appears to have been resolved, at least on Windows 10 with Firefox 89. The disabled checkbox is green as I'd expect for disabled controls.

Seeing the same issue on MacOS 11.4 - note that the checkbox is checked, but does not appear any differently.
