It only works on the more insecure nightly version of firefox.
- shiroiushi 2y agoI just checked this config value on my Firefox Nightly and it's already preset to false. Interesting.
- remram 2y agoMaybe 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.
- kilburn 2y agoThis is equivalent to about:config and works on the regular firefox mobile version too: chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml
