I've landed on using the F-droid build instead of Nightly. That also allows custom extension collections, and I believe Mozilla's attitude was that they get more telemetry for Nightly as they consider that an opt-in somehow (or at least they did for the desktop app).


How do you install Firefox via F-droid? (I searched, but don't see it listed in my F-droid store directly.)

Do you use the FFupdater app?


Not the parent but from F-Droid I use Fennec, which is FF nightly with the branding and some of the more obnoxious anti-features removed:

If you actually check the version numbers, it's actually the release version (instead of the nightly) with unofficial branding.


You are right, sorry! It's too late to edit my post but this is correct.


I recommend the fork Mull: https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/

It includes privacy-related improvements. See more: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/mull-fenix
