*Summary:*
The "prefers-reduced-transparency" media query allows websites to reduce 
the amount of transparent objects/effects to become more accessible for 
some users who may have difficulties parsing content through translucent 
backgrounds, etc. Based on system settings.

With https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D172424, it is now 
implemented behind the preference said below, disabled by default.

Draft.
*Security & privacy concerns:* This potentially introduces a fingerprinting 
vector, so the pref for this specific media query will be kept disabled by 
default until decided. Bug for potentially enabling by 
default: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1822176
*Web designer / developer use-cases:* Some users find it hard to parse text 
or content with translucent backgrounds. This media query can allow 
websites to make pages more opaque to assist people who may struggle 
otherwise.
