There's no about:config and no plans to add a generic one.
Wow, that sucks. :-| Is this an explicit policy decision or simply due
to time constraints? There are a massive load of things which can be
configured via prefs which are useful for testing.
Hackability is one of Mozilla's core software strengths.
There's no about: pages that run in chrome mode at all (which most do),
i.e. no about:config, about:crashes, about:memory, etc. - we cannot run
chrome-privileged pages inside content-privileged apps due to security
reasons. This bites us in multiple case and we can't do a lot about it
(actually, there's work ongoing to re-implement "something like
about:crashes" with various tricks to not require chrome access, but I
consider this quite hackish).
I'm also not sure how we'd ever be able to "fix" that problem, but not
having those pages really cuts into our debugging, testing, and hacking
abilities on Firefox OS, that's right.
