      To add to the others, Fennec is a fantastic replacement and has extension support.

      Also heard good things about LibreWolf. Mull had some buggy behaviours I couldn’t seem to configure away from so I guess YMMV, but that was my experience.

      Have you tried Obtanium? Allows to download and update from github, among other sources. There’s even a site with source configs that’s very helpful, and includes firefox.

      https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/

      Alternatively, Fennec is basically firefox and it’s on f-droid.

      There are tons of Firefox forks there?

        Support from the primary source of development is what I’d prefer. That’s where the money is. Mozilla is the only one that could actually have a sizable marketing budget along with employing dozens to hundreds of software developers

          All of those forks get support from the primary source of development. Do you know what a fork is?

            Is your first instinct talking to people is to be a dick? Forks pull changes downstream and hopefully push changes upstream but if you want to see either the core Firefox web browser engine or F-Droid reach more popularity, you need Mozilla support so I would rather support Mozilla directly than any fork

                My bad if I took your words the wrong way. I gave my answer for why I prefer to use the primary application, because of funding, and your response to me sounded like dismissive condescension. You may not have meant condescension but it reads like dismissive condescension to me like I’ve heard plenty of whether in or out of the software industry or academia
