Thx

Did this suddenly stop working for anyone else?

I just downloaded an old apk of firefox (fennec-68.11.0) (must prevent it from auto updating in play store)
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/68.11.0/android-api-16/multi/

mozilla-mobile/fenix#9691

no i know about the config workaround, i'm saying it stopped working from one moment to the next.
