Has the about:config option 'use_system_prefs' been dropped?

Using Firefox 60.2.0 ESR version we are noticing that the about:config option "use_system_prefs" is not working and seems to be ignored. We are running on Firefox on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 15 with Gnome desktop.

This option was working with 52 ESR versions of Firefox.

Interesting. Why is it referenced in the Mozillazine? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Config.use_system_prefs

At the bottom, it says "This page was last modified 18:10, 5 July 2006." So it could be obsolete.
