accessibility.blockautorefresh on mobile

Can anyone point me to the setting for accessibility.blockautorefresh (or an equivalent) in the mobile browser for Android?

I want to prevent web page authors from using the meta http-equiv refresh tag and from using JavaScript to cause a page to refresh (without disabling other JavaScript on the site).

Thanks!

Tap the big plus on the search bar and add it as a new boolean preference and set it as true.

If you set it in about:config does that work? It is a Gecko preference so it should work in Firefox for Android.

That option is not listed under about:config on Android. I don't see it... Did they hide it somewhere else?
