The option "prevent access to about:addons" does not work for Firefox for Android v135.0

I used to use a blocking app called BlockSite in my Android phone, but it does not support fine-grain configuration compared to Leechblock. However, Chrome for Android itself does not support extensions, so I decide to switch to Firefox.

I have installed Firefox for Android v135.0. During setup, I encountered a problem that the option prevent access to about:addons did not work, and I then tried to block about:addons directly via Regex, which also failed. My ultimate goal is to localize the problem and only block the following config page by blocking its URL, remaining other addons unaffected. But it seems that I cannot directly see the URL of the config page in the Android version.

So, can I achieve my final goal? At least I need to make the option work. I can easily avoid turning off or uninstalling Leechblock on Chrome for desktop by blocking chrome://extensions and chrome://extensions/?id=xxx via Regex, but things get wired on Firefox for Android.

Firefox for Android does not implement the add-ons page in the same way at the desktop version, i.e., as a webpage with a URL (about:addons). Instead, the add-ons page is built into the app itself, apparently. So, right now, I don't see a way to block the add-ons page in Android.

If FFA supported group policies, it might be possible to "force install" an extension, so that it can't be disabled or uninstalled without admin access, but the FFA developers don't seem to be in a hurry to do that.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm irritated about it too.
