I see what you mean. My first post of a link from this app and I guess I wasn't sure how this was going to look. I didn't want to post anything myself hoping the article would be self explanatory.
The question remains, is Firefox damaging my phone in the long run? Is fennec better?
No, I don't recommend Fennec. Consider Mull if you want something without Mozilla's telemetry. Mull has some of Tor Browser's privacy features as well as not having telemetry.
That said, I don't think Firefox is harmful in any way.
I can't handle scrolling with Mull. Otherwise, I love it.
whats wrong with mull's scrolling?

you can change that in about:config, i think privacy.resistFingerprinting is the culprit
That sounds like it's all or nothing. I realize that any item turned off makes you more unique but not every site is making fingerprints using every feature.
I want to resist fingerprinting without decreasing the functionality of my phone. Only change the refresh rate.
I agree that's a problem, but refresh rate is one of the fingerprinting methods, and resistFingerprinting doesn't offer finetuning options (except canvas permissions?), which is what prevents me from using it
