 We need to compile Tor Browser 8 with accessibility disabled as mingw-w64
 does not work with it right now. See:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1430149 for the Mozilla bug
 and https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/bugs/648/ for the underlying WIDL
 bug.

 Maybe there is a workaround we can use? Or we could get the WIDL bug
 fixed?
