I'm want to access a private website I know safe on a non usual port (554) but it's blocked with the message "Port restricted for security reasons"

I tried to setup an override with `network.security.ports.banned.override` but `about:config` has been disabled on Firefox for Android.

How can I access my website ?

Hi

You can access about:config in the Nightly version of Firefox for Android.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, but using an unstable nightly version to workaround a lack of configuration is not a viable option, specially with low-tech users.

I really like Firefox but if I can't make this work I will have to tell my users to use Chrome …

Access it as you were told. Therefore, face no problems.
