Received a Firefox information box telling me "accessibility not available during multi-process support". It then gave me instructions to go to "about:config" and how to fix the problem by changing the "browser.tabs.remote.force-enable" to "true".

That string does not appear in the list.

The closest to it in alphabetical order is: "browser.tabs.remote.autostart" and "browser.tabs.remote.autostart2".

Any thoughts?

You would have to create a new Boolean pref with that name because it doesn't exist by default.
