Currently, there is code in
accessible/src/atk/nsApplicationAccessibleWrap.cpp and
widget/src/gtk2/nsWindow.cpp to check if a11y is enabled by looking at
the "/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility" key in GConf. This doesn't
work in GNOME 3 because of the transition to GSettings**.

This seems to be the last feature depending on GConf now.

** It may still work on some systems due to the GSettings -> GConf
bridge, but this has been removed already (http://git.gnome.org/browse

Bug description:
  Luke mentioned to me in Dublin that the screen reader doesn't work
  with Firefox when accessibility is enabled. This is because Firefox is
  still using GConf to check if accessibility is enabled, when it really
  needs to be using GSettings. I've just realized this is still the
  case, so I assume that the screen reader still won't work by default
