about:config works on the mobile variants, too. Granted, it is not the best UX, but it works for now.

It still seems strange to me that browsers overrule the OS' and thus the user's global preferences.

About:config is currently disabled on Firefox (Fenix) Stable for some unclear reasons. I'm currently on beta because of it, but frankly I'd prefer to stay on stable..

Unfortunately about:config no longer works in the most recent version of mobile Firefox. It is unclear what the rationale was for hiding it, although apparently in the next release it will be accessible again.

about:config is gone from the Android version.

edit: However, your link was still indirectly quite helpful. A couple of hops away, I found https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/canary-domain-use-appli... which explains a better way to handle this at the network level, than blocking 1.1.1.1.

I just went to about:config on Firefox Nightly for Android, so no, you're incorrect and it's still there.

No, you're incorrect. It might be in Nightly but it's not in the normal stable version.
