 Mozilla is thinking about removing support for <isindex> HTML element.
 References:
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/isindex
  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/DV3YBf7wI3M
 and
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1266495

 The reason we might want to do this for TB 6.0 is that <isindex> generates
 a form that has a label that contains text that comes from the browser's
 UI locale (thus leaking that information).

 There is a risk that some sites are using this tag.
