  • Firefox Beta: /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta/files/mozilla/<profile name>.default/
  • Fennec: /data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/files/mozilla/<profile name>.default/

Check the permissions for pref.js already present in that path and give the same permissions to user.js

  • Root access is required for placing user.js in above mentioned path and changing permissions.
  • Users without root access can change each and every setting manually in about:config
