+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1612487 +++

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

# uname -a
Linux localhost 3.18.140-lineageos-gb8f4525 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jan 25 09:30:25 UTC 2020 aarch64
# cat /data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/files/mozilla/mpsrd54o.default/user.js
user_pref("browser.zoom.full", true);
#

Actual results:

about:config in Firefox Fennec shows browser.zoom.full to be false even after setting it to true in user.js.

Expected results:

browser.zoom.full should have been set to true as specified in user.js

Firefox for Android is feature frozen.

I'm sorry but I don't understand. What does "feature frozen" mean? Does it mean the new features or existing bugs will not be fixed in Firefox Fennec? This is kinda odd given that the latest release was just 10 days ago.

I'm using Firefox Fennec 68.4.1esr which, as per release notes, was released 20 days back.
