A couple of points:
First of all if you are worried you should update your Firefox version ASAP. The version you use is quite outdated. Lots of security problems have been fixed meanwhile. And if you reports issues with such an old version we can’t fix them in such old versions.

Secondly I’m wondering what you are worried about.

Lastly: I just switched media.peerconnection.enable to false in Firefox 70 Beta and it works for me. Which makes me wonder what do you do to verify if the disabling has worked?

Best regards

    I just verified that the media.peerconnection.enable pref still
works for me; when toggled to false, it disables the use of
RTCPeerConnection. It does not disable getUserMedia (which allows the
browser to ask for permission to use your camera/microphone), because
that's a different thing that is used for more than webrtc; do you want
to disable that also?

Best regards,

I would also *strongly* suggest upgrading to a supported version of
Mozilla... Current version is 69.  The only reason to use 56 would be an
absolute need to run old XUL-type extensions -- and then you should run
56 release, not a beta.

56 is way out of date, and does not have current security fixes (and
never will).   Also, the current release versions are considerably
faster than 56.
