it does exist in `about:config`, which could be made as a UI setting instead:

`media.peerconnectin.enabled`.

on cromite[1], a hardened chromium fork, there is such a setting, both in the settings page, as well as when you click on the lock icon in the address bar.

IIRC the standard mobile firefox version no longer makes about:config available. You need to be on a beta or nightly build to access it.

It is still enabled, just a bit hidden: chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml
