That's strange. I don't remember seeing it, let alone change it (Fx
131.0.3).

Firefox 131.0.3

Firefox menu -> Settings -> scroll down to Advanced section

Thanks, but I had already seen that (see my first reply to Dave).

What I was trying to say was that until /today/ I don't remember seeing
it. Do you know in which version of Firefox that option first appeared?

 Unfortunately Mozilla's https://mzl.la/3dpdrJ2 article doesn't mention
when this feature was first added in which version of Firefox.  I've
seen discussions on this option going back to Jan 2020; for example,
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1276859.

I see in that support webpage that it was only in the nightly version, and that it was expected to be in a release version. I guess it appeared shortly after (I found refs to it in 2021).
It's a pity that Android Firefox updates don't have a "Release notes" link in the same way that desktop versions do.
