Firefox nightly port override
The string network.security.ports.banned.override has seemed to have stopped working in the latest version of Firefox nightly for android. Also in about:config most of the buttons are greyed out and there is no text.

WARNING from the moderator team: Changing Firefox pref from the about:config page can sometimes break Firefox or cause strange behavior. You should only do this if you know what you're doing.
Please read Firefox Advanced Customization and Configuration Options to learn more.
About:confg is not enabled in release intentionally as there are a lot of prefs that are never going to work in Firefox for Android as they only apply to desktop Firefox. There are preferences that are under the control of GeckoView and get reset when Firefox restarts. There are untested prefs can cause crashes and as a result this is unsupported.

This is just a string to unblock a port. It worked a couple of weeks ago and now it doesn't. I have also tried reinstalling the app and has the same issue from install.
Please appreciate that the Nightly version of Firefox for Android is primarily designed for developers and about:config preferences may change with little or no notice.
I can understand that the preferences may change. My current problem is that the about:config page doesn't seem to be working correctly. I'll add some screenshots of the page. Currently I have a multiple devices that have had a port overriden and it has worked previously. Currently since an update that string no long works on any device or on any new device or install.
