No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions

Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

What about the Android version? I don't think the method works for that
On desktop Firefox, it's not enabled by default. On Firefox for Android, it's not even there, i.e. you can't even enable it.
Yeah when they add it to mobile firefox were fucked, rated one star and they vommented saying they have no plans to add about:config to mobile firefox, telling me to use the beta shit version instead.
@switchingsoftware @kuketzblog
But about:config does work on the Iceraven fork. So if they implement it on android there'll be a fix.
You install it from here https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser/releases. Look for the readme file. Straightforward but you have to check for updates every so often. It also has a wider range of plugins, my initial reason for switching.

We recommend #IronFox as a cleaned up Firefox fork for Android. It supports about:config, too.

It claims to be installable from F-Droid (isn't there) and Accrescent (install doesn't work).
@markhburton @stephenhomewood
IronFox' readme does a poor job explaining how to install this app via F-Droid. IronFox is not yet part of F-Droid's own package repository. So you have to add IronFox's F-Droid repo before you can install IronFox.
Opening this link in F-Droid allows you to add their repo:
