Typing about:config in the address bar does not bring up a list of configuration files. All it does is produce a google search list of YouTube and Mozilla help sites. How can I access Firefox configuration files so I can stop websites from refreshing?

Firefox for iOS (for (iPhone/iPad) is basically a shell for Safari as Apple limits what browser engine can be used on iOS/iPadOS.

The about:config is only available on desktop Firefox on Windows, Linux macOS and on Beta/Nightly channels of Firefox for Android.

Also there are no Firefox extensions for Firefox on iOS https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-firefox-ios

Can you tell us more about your problem with websites auto refreshing? Does it happen very frequently or only on certain sites?
