No longer supporting? I'd say they *are* being supported if every other
application on my GNOME 3 system is identified as accessible. There is
definitely a way to detect the availability of accessibility, and a way
that is supported by the platform developers.

And I'd hardly call something that has been available and in use for
nearly a year new, especially in the area of software.

This is not a new feature. This is a critical regression that makes it
difficult to impossible for GNOME 3 users to access your application.
It's hugely disheartening to see an app that already has some major
accessibility issues ask its users to wait months without any access
whatsoever when a fix is available and won't impact those who don't need
it.

  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
