Mobile view troubleshootings

• Due to Firefox is a desktop browser and managing addons is complicated the easiest way to have mobile view is disabling privacy.resistFingerprinting and forcing Android UserAgent. Those changes are reversible, though.

Known problems

Some breakage?

Try changing "network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy" from 2 to 1

Infinite loop loading some webs?

This is related to cookies. Block all of them momentarily changing "network.cookie.cookieBehavior" from 5 to 2

Enabling a string with the value defaultPref("browser.contentblocking.category", "strict/standard/custom"); doesn't work and breaks TCP

Nevertheless, by using LockPref instead works. Anyway, I prefer not locking this, for example if you want to block all cookies.
