First: Asimov’s three laws

Second: Ned Beatty speech from Blade Runner

Third: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has a reference to the Sirius cybernetics company whose marketing division has coined that phrase for their robots.

Fourth: Bender from Futurama’s catchphrase “bite my shiny metal ass”

Looks like it might only be in the newest version or in Firefox for desktop because when I tried it in Fennec it didnt work

It doesn’t work on the latest Firefox Beta, so it’s probably just for the desktop app.

It’s desktop only, and from 2008.
