From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/24921.

Would be nice to have and it must be easy to implement considering modified preferences are already highlighted (bold).

Change performed by the Move to Bugzilla add-on.

bug 1502867 did this in toolkit. Not sure why that is not carried through to mobile.

Product: GeckoView → Toolkit

AIUI, the about:config UI that Fenix / GeckoView uses is a different implementation. I suspect it's this one: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/c7183440fe8ad391e2ab2e990229dd85fac318d3/mobile/android/chrome/geckoview/config.js#202-209

Hey agi, what's a good component for this?

Type: defect → enhancement

Ah! Right. For some reason I thought the implementation was the same.

I think in general we're not interested in improving the current about:config experience on Android, and all efforts should be devoted in making the Desktop about:config suitable for Android too so that we don't have a duplicate implementation.

Especially given that Fenix doesn't enable about:config on release.

I thought we already had a bug for this but I can't find it, so I opened Bug 1769319
