### Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request
* **User impact if declined**: Windows users with both Firefox and Thunderbird installed may have degraded performance, especially in Firefox. As noted, the issue has affected Firefox more severely. For Thunderbird, bug 1689791 will need uplift as well.
* **Is this code covered by automated tests?**: No
* **Has the fix been verified in Nightly?**: No
* **Needs manual test from QE?**: No
* **If yes, steps to reproduce**: As noted in the comments, there's no clear way to test.
* **List of other uplifts needed**: None
* **Risk to taking this patch**: Medium
* **Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky)**: This would only impact users who have both Firefox and Thunderbird installed. The lack of test strategy does increase the risk. However the actual accessibility code does not change with this patch, only the method by which GUIDs are assigned changes. Those GUIDs do not change for Firefox. They will for Thunderbird.
* **String changes made/needed**: n/a
