As an alternative, you can get a stable release with about:config by installing Firefox (or Mull) from F-Droid.

curious, what do you want to do with about:config on FF for Android?

Mostly, basic security things like disabling prefetch, disabling WebRTC, disabling redirects, preventing sites from reading my battery level, preventing firefox from changing what I type in the address bar (fixup), etc

Battery status was disabled in Firefox in 2016.

Disabling telemetry for one. Not that this should be enabled in the first place.

You don't need about:config to disable that, you can do it from the regular settings screen.

Not all of it and not in a way that has a chance of staying disabled when they add new ways to exfiltrate data.
