That preference has been removed in Firefox 81 (bug 1613468). Why do you need to disable it?

For privacy reason : I want to maximize the tracking protecting while surfing on the web.

I think you're mislead, as in that option was to allow accessibility software installed on your machine - like JAWS - to access the browser. And that should be enalbed by default, it was possible to disable it for performances reason when we switched to e10s.
Having said that, leaving to the component's owner to confirm that.

wait I don't understand.
If you had an accessibility software installed on your computer :
1- If this button was checked, what would happen?
2- If this button was unchecked, what would happen?
3- What would happen now that the button is removed?
I think that if we can still prevent (how?) the acess to accessibility software this issue can be closed.
Thanks.
