Only doable with nightly and beta builds or any ffox fork that has access to custom addon collection

Ah, well that explains why about:config didn't work for me, I'm using official FF.

Well now you got me curious too. Apparently the about:config page doesn't work or is just non-existent on Android â˜šī¸

I found this though...

Pretty sure about:config is only available in Beta and Nightly. Some of the forks have it though, Mull, Fennec, Smart Cookie Web Preview etc.

Okay. Well it's not working for either of my Android phones, and I'm running official Firefox, either the latest version or the last version.

I try about:config in the address bar, and one phone does absolutely nothing but open a blank page. And my other phone apparently likes to interpret about:config as search terms for DuckDuckGo. đŸ¤ˇâ€â™‚ī¸
