Someone asked on the blog why we don't enable by default "Prevent
accessibility services from accessing your browser" in the preferences:
https://blog.torproject.org/comment/286871#comment-286871
Enabling this preference might make it more difficult for some 3rd party
software to monitor what happens in the browser. Maybe we could enable
this by default, while still allowing people who need accessibility
service to change it.
It seems `accessibility.force_disabled` is the pref controlling this.
