Unfortunately, we should set it to true by default. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/accessibility-services#w_anti-virus-and-anti-malware-browser-plugins_2

So assuming we disable accessibility services by default, how will our visually impaired users use Tor Browser?

Ask this UX question to Mozilla. But it's better than having tickets like #31681 (moved).

Yeah preventing visually impaired people from using Tor Browser seems like a bad choice. As cypherpunks suggested, better to file a UX bug with Mozilla so they can work out how to do this properly.

#33445 (moved) is a duplicate.

Replying to pospeselr:

Ah, when opening #33445 (moved) I was thinking that those users could just enable it if they need it, but yes, maybe they can't access easily the preferences when accessibility services is not enabled.
