Thank you, I will try that. Although I hope that for critical security
updates they will be faster... Right now it is lagging behind (105.1.0
vs. current 106.1.0)
Yes, but as far as I understand, the fight against fingerprinting is
lost anyway.
Having WebRTC enabled can be dangerous for other reasons. You could be
seeding a torrent unknowingly just by visiting a website. This can turn
into a freaking disaster if you live in country like Germany.
It's a shame that browsers don't ask you for WebRTC like they do with
webcams.
Well for one a website can make you secretly upload copyrighted content with plain old javascript. And it's going to be hard to hold you liable for data uploads that someone else initiated and you didn't know about.

Only to a webserver and thanks to CORS not to any webserver. There is
no benefit for a website doing that - unlike with sharing a torrent to
other internet users.
The problem with torrents is that they are actively watched by
"Abmahnanwälte" (lawyers who make a living by suing copyright offenders).

yeah good luck with that. All they see is your IP and then you can try
to explain how this happened and how you are totally innocent.
about:config is only available in Beta or Nightly on Android now, though forks like Fennec also have it enabled by default.
They took it away in Stable because changing some settings may disconnect GeckoView from the application containing it and they can't have that.
I run Beta for this reason. Nightly is too unstable for me so I had to give up custom addon lists to bypass Mozilla's outdated whitelist (they were only available in nightly for a while, I believe that's in Beta now).
Mozilla doesn't trust you to use their precious software right and they'll take away your toys if it considers you to be playing with them wrong. I still like Mozilla over Google, Microsoft, and Apple, but it's really hard to be a fan of Firefox when they pull shit like this.
Yeah. It's only available in nightly. Which is fine so long as you're ok with things occasionally breaking or sudden vulnerabilities (I've dogfooded nightly on desktop and mobile for years and it definitely happens. Happened to me just last week) and you also have to be fine with downloading a huge package and writing it to your internal card basically every day which may be an issue with your plan, and after a few years, is also an extra thousand writes that you might have wanted to avoid (my last 3 phones have had replaceable batteries but not internal storage).
