I have the firefox app but its not on f droid while fennec is, what gives? And should I be using fennec instead
Yeah, the official Firefox build unfortunately depends on some proprietary libraries, which are removed by Fennec.
Fennec is just a collection of patches to remove that from the official Firefox repo: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuildGenerally, I would recommend using Fennec, yes.
If you want the official Firefox builds without using the Play Store, FFUpdater is useful: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater/Shameless plug for Mull here too, i use both fennec and mull.

Yes my bad, I mistyped that in a hurry.
Also thank you for the clarification!
If you are big on privacy, Mull is actually recommended, see here: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
Although, Mull is only 60hz. If you do a lot of reading on your phone this can be frustrating.
I often install both.
I would suggest Mull browser. It’s more hardened. I use Fennec as an alternate browser for work stuff just to compartmentalize like on my computer (librewolf and firefox)
Does it also handle notifications for tab send differently?
I tried using Mull/Fenec and for my use case it would not stop crashing (I’m using it on GrapheneOS).
Apparently it isn’t working with PWAs at all.
