• Accessability Options Not Showing in 85.0.2

    From Martin@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 17 19:23:02 2021
    I was on version 78 of Firefox and there was an option to toggle on/off accessibility options to allow third party's to access the browser. A
    browser restart was required to disable.

    I cannot see this option at all in version 85.0.2 , has it been removed
    or moved somewhere ?

    Not familiar with the options.

    Maybe you can find some thing in one of the results here.

    Thanks for replying. I think I found what I wanted at:

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/accessibility-services

    Following the instructions I already had it enabled "0" so changed it
    to "1".
    In version 78 of Firefox there was an option in options to toggle this
    feature off and on. The default was "on" in 78. My query mainly was why
    it doesn't appear in the main options of the latest Firefox.

    How do I disable Firefox Accessibility Service?

    Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
    A warning page may appear. Click Accept the Risk and Continue to go
    to the about:config page.
    In the about:config page, search for the preference accessibility.force_disabled.
    Observe the Value column of the accessibility.force_disabled row.
    If it is set to 1 then do nothing.
    If it is set to 0, double-click on it to open an editing field,
    type 1, then click the blue check mark button or press the Enter key to complete the update
