 Synce version 57, Firefox uses new standard to provide content of webpages
 to screenreaders, programs which blind users use to work with computer.
 With new release of Torbrowser 8.0, it took new graphical interface from
 Firefox 60, but even if it took its accessibility capabilities, they are
 blocked somehow by main application. Nothing is accessible from web
 content to basic browser control elements like alt menu or Connection
 settings dialog.
 Thanks to this bug, it is completely impossible to use Torbrowser with
 screenreaders like NVDA or Jaws. Only way is to use proxi, which is
 however not ideal solution compared to Torbrowser app configured to
 provide no informations about its location.
