Steps to Reproduce:

1. With Firefox for Android Nightly 47.0a1 (2016-01-27)
2. In the URI bar, enter 'about:config?filter=webkit'

Expected:
 There should be preferences with the string webkit only (as on desktop)

Actual:
 The full list is still here.

Why it is useful, once the filter is active, you can bookmark it to have a quick access to a specific preference that you need to change often, instead of typing again and again.


Also note that when you search for webkit in the search form and you open a new tab, do something and come back to this tab. The search context has been lost, which is also annoying.


Related I guess.
