Where is the new preference to disable automatic pausing RSS feed updates after a fetch failure?

The release notes for version 91.2.1 include this NEW item:

Preference added to disable automatic pausing RSS feed updates after a fetch failure

But I can't find it... Looked into "Blogs & News Feeds" in the Account Settings and searched the Preferences. It's not in the feed subscriptions either.

Somebody knows where I could find it?

It's in the advanced preferences editor, aka the Config Editor

The preference is rss.disable_feeds_on_update_failure. The default value is true.

Seems to me the value should be false if you don't want feed updates disabled after an initial failure.
