It actually was pretty easy. All I did was install Fennec and then tweak a few settings.

I switched the browsing protection to strict
I installed ublock origin
I went to about:config and enabled resist fingerprinting

I ran some fingerprinting tests and my slightly modified Fennec performs about the same as Mull

I'd like to use a browser based on Gecko but they're far behind than Chromium based browsers in matter of security unfortunately

In terms of number of CVEs Firefox is better. The real danger of mobile Firefox is that it doesn't implement sandboxing which means that a security vulnerability can be very bad. However, Android sandboxes apps already so the chances of long term impact are low.

I would love to see Mozilla implement a proper security sandboxing in mobile Firefox. Instead we get AI and ads. I can't use Chromium since it no longer properly supports Mv2

Would be nice if we have Librewolf for Android
