Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: Firefox 70 has a bug where we have false positives for accessibility checks in accessibility panel related to keyboard accessibility. It would be ideal to fix this in beta so there's only 1 release with the checks reporting false positives for those cases.
• Is this code covered by automated tests?: Yes
• Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes
• Needs manual test from QE?: No
• If yes, steps to reproduce:
• List of other uplifts needed: None
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): Covered by tests, only affects users who run a11y checks in a11y panel.
• String changes made/needed: None
