about:config is removed from (not beta) android version of firefox. Who knows if they will decide to remove it on desktop as well because "only x% of our users were using about:config!"

Also if a setting is hidden behind about:config, it probably means dev will care less and less about it and eventually remove if it is becoming a hindrance

This precisely the reason I've dropped Firefox. (Previously I was using Firefox almost exclusively across all the platforms.)

I was using it to enable TRR on Android.

It is present in Fennec F-droid, which I am using now, FWIW. It is based on Firefox.
