Steps to reproduce:

About:Preferences and about:Addons have less-than-accessible interfaces.

See bug 1505924 about introducing the new less-accessible interface. bug 1584771 about non-scrolling sidebars.

Actual results:

I tried to force into "No Style" to solve the sidebar issue. This did not work.

I also tried to use "Inspect Element" to track down the coding. This did not work, I couldn't even get the contextual menu.

Expected results:

A no-nonsense layout, such as No Style, should be available to work around accessibility problems with fancier layouts.

I'm not sure what the expected behaviour in this case, but I'm going to assign "Core: CSS Parsing and Computing" component for it.

Marja, could you file bug(s) on the accessibility problems with the new UI please? (One bug report per problem please, with as much details as you can provide. Tag them as regressed by bug 1505924 if appropriate.) Fixing the accessibility issues is probably the better alternative, and a higher priority for us, than providing a workaround band-aid like supporting "No Style" on internal UI pages. Thanks for your report.
