MDN docs work for this can be tracked in https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/30003
As far as I can tell this just enables the preference that enables the feature. Has anything else changed since https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1830623 ?
The reason I ask is that in that bug the header was sent when another preference was set, and there was discussion that this would actually be set in a Firefox preference UI. That UI should at least be linked in FF if it exists?

Since Bug 1830623 we also send the header in private browsing mode when the feature is enabled. This change pushes that (and the Firefox preference UI to set the header) to release.
That UI should at least be linked in FF if it exists?
Not sure what you mean by be linked in, but that UI is riding the trains with Fx120.

Thank you.
Not sure what you mean by be linked in, but that UI is riding the trains with Fx120.
What I mean is that normally a feature like this would have a Firefox setting in about:preferences#privacy to allow the user preference to be set globally and/or for particular sites.
So the question was "is this really just still exposed via about:config preference as per the current documentation"? If there is a "proper" UI for turning the feature on in about:preferences#privacy then we need to add that to the docs.
Based on your answer I am assuming the header is still is still set using about:config.
I've added "requestinfo" but feel free to can just cancel that if my assumption is correct. I've also added dev-doc-complete

This has a setting in about:preferences#privacy. If you have Nightly, you can search for "sell or share" or "gpc" in about:preferences to see it. It is the first checkbox in the "Website Privacy Preferences" section.
