The only advice available right now is using Nightly version as if I'm ready to sacrifice stability over about: config access. The main question is, why was it removed? Is it really accessible in Nightly if the advice was for 79 and I'm on 81 already that I guess should have included changes from Nightly of two versions prior.

They're not going to let it into the release versions for now. Switching things in about:config can kill browser with no chance to revert it back, so it's enabled only in Beta/Nightly.

Thank you.

I'd really like to see an example or evidence for such claim. Changing UserAgent never bricked my browser and I've never heard about anything similar. I'm not saying it's impossible but "collective Mozilla" made me suspicious of their true intentions lately.
