For Android users seeking a privacy-focused browser, Privacy Guides recommends Mull:

Mull is a privacy oriented and deblobbed Android browser based on Firefox. Compared to Firefox, it offers much greater fingerprinting protection out of the box, and disables JavaScript Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation for enhanced security. It also removes all proprietary elements from Firefox, such as replacing Google Play Services references.

Mull enables many features upstreamed by the Tor uplift project using preferences from Arkenfox. Proprietary blobs are removed from Mozilla's code using the scripts developed for Fennec F-Droid.

Until Firefox mobile has a functional home button in the toolbar then I don't care what the fuck the do because I won't be using it. Dumb as fuck not to have it.

What is your home page that you need access to it so conveniently?
Besides, new tab can be set to a webpage instead of a blank tab

Like the home icon at top left? I don't get your point. Using fennec.

Open a new tab, there, home.

That house in the bottom left is a home button:

That doesn't exist in the mobile nightly. Picture of Firefox nightly toolbar on printables.com demonstrating missing home button

But honestly that's no problem and I hadn't noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.
