If distributions are no longer supporting the means by which
applications determine whether accessibility is enabled, then that is
not a reason to vent frustration at the application developers.

Supporting the new methods for detecting settings is by definition new
and therefore not thoroughly tested.  It seems reasonable to put this
through the same QA process as any new feature.

  Needs to get accessibility settings from GSettings

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
