Google likely pays them to disable about:config on Android or implies they won't pay them as much for default search and they read the tea leaves.

It only works on the more insecure nightly version of firefox.

This is equivalent to about:config and works on the regular firefox mobile version too:

chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml

Didn't work for me just now. When there have been ways in the past the non-nightly version wipes the changes each restart unless they are already exposed in settings I think.

You have to type it manually and not paste apparently. Mine was already set false so I'm not going to experiment with turning it on.

I just checked this config value on my Firefox Nightly and it's already preset to false. Interesting.

Maybe you had turned it off last time this was on the front-page? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40974112

That's what I suspect for my own setting anyway.
