This is expected. Fenix doesn't use the preference system for a lot of its UI features, as the about:config system only works inside Gecko, and the Firefox for Android application UI is native Android code. The "Report Site Issue" functionality is loaded as an android-component, and loaded from within Kotlin code that only enables the reporter if the user is on a pre-release version of Firefox for Android.

There is no way to have about:config prefs change anything in the UI.

    The design probably needs some adaptation.
    Reserved for future reconsideration.

    I believe much of Android programs shall be essentially Linux programs.
    The Android part just links the UI.
