We will likely roll e10s out in advance of having good a11y support. Due to this we will need a blacklist of clients we disable e10s for. This bug covers this work.

Hey David,

I need some help here deciding what we prompt to disable for. With this patch I prompt for every client we can detect UIAUTOMATION and of course UNKNOWN. Both of which we spoke about the other day.

On Mac and linux I'm not sure what to do. With this patch if a11y is found to be active we prompt to disable.

Does this seem right?

to clarify - I prompt to disable e10s for every client we can detect except UIAUTOMATION and of course UNKNOWN.
I think this plan makes sense.

Trevor am I correct we need a bit more work to make things like focus events work etc before removing the opt-out for OTHER?

I tested this with JAWS and with Inspect.exe. For the former we prompted, for the latter we did not.

given Compatability.h is exported this seems like a rather silly layer of  indirection.

I think we could always return false on linux at this point.  It doesn't work nearly well enough to release, but you can certainly use chrome and see content some.

I'm tempted to not black list the last two, but I guess we can do that later.

I was anticipating platform specific code for each platform. I guess that's not going to be the case so I'll take this out and just include windows Compatability.h in nsAppRunner if needed.

Easy to add this now if you want.

I think windows is the only place we can have a finer grained thing than on or off.

lets play it safe and see how more exposure for UIA and linux goes.

haven't heard any complaints, no bugs filed either afaik. The disabled pref was reset as well so, things look good so far.
