Details

Firefox Nightly detects an accessibility tool on a clean install of Firefox and Windows. This also happens in Windows 8.1.
Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Install Firefox Nightly 37 (x64) on a clean install of Windows.
2. Open Firefox Nightly, and then it warns you about an accessibility tool and that e10s should be disabled.

Doesn't happen here. Can you provide more details on the machine you're installing on? Is it a VM?

Experiencing the same issue. After installing Nightly, the General tab in Settings displays next to the first checkbox, "Enable E10S (multi-process) (disabled: An accessibility tool is active)" while no accessibility tools are active. As testing is supposed to be focused on the e10n functionality, this is a concern.
