Sure, about:config works there as well. Interestingly, it was already disabled on my phone, but enabled on desktop.

  Google likely pays them to disable about:config on Android or implies they won't pay them as much for default search and they read the tea leaves. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/firefox-for-android-about-config/idi-p/8071 https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/firefox-for-android-abo... It only works on the more insecure nightly version of firefox.

    I just checked this config value on my Firefox Nightly and it's already preset to false. Interesting.

      Maybe you had turned it off last time this was on the front-page? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40974112 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40974112 That's what I suspect for my own setting anyway.

    This is equivalent to about:config and works on the regular firefox mobile version too: chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml

      Didn't work for me just now. When there have been ways in the past the non-nightly version wipes the changes each restart unless they are already exposed in settings I think.

        You have to type it manually and not paste apparently. Mine was already set false so I'm not going to experiment with turning it on.

Yes, beta version for sure(just go to about:config), possibly it works on the normal version with the following method (which allows you to insert a user.js) Instructions: https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/240 https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/240 Other option is to use another gecko based browser check this https://divestos.org/pages/browsers https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

Go to chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml and set dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled to false.

Firefox 128.0.3 and higher has this globally disabled for Android.
