You may wish to try Firefox for Android Beta or Nightly where about:config is available.

I really don't, I want Firefox to trust their users enough to allow them to access any service they want rather than arbitrarily blocking ports, not to daily drive an unstable release. this is just twisting my arm towards competition browsers

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you need to file a bug report or feature request for Firefox and other Mozilla products, see File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
