Edit: I came across this project while looking for an alternative, because Fennec F-Droid did not sync my history with my desktop browser when I installed it. I did, however, reinstall it and this time it worked, so I am now using Fennec.

Fennec also has about:config support. It's a firefox feature that's removed "because it's dangerous for users" 🙄

I couldn't get Fennec to sync with my Firefox account.

you look for privacy and you wanna link your non firefox browser with firefox account, just use firefox, you basically giving all infos to firefox when u r using firefox account.

edit: i found a google tracker in the app, git description mentioning, that i should open new issue, but as per stated "non-stable" app setup, no reason to do that, I strongly suggest to not use this app. If the developer is not able to guarantee stability and doesnt even know what is going in the guts of the app, its no go for me

Is that really what they said? A little while ago I read that it was because many of the options in there didn't work on Firefox Mobile to begin with.

It's something close: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/about-config-missing/66537/6

About:config is not a feature that most people will use and it can make your browser seriously unstable.

I have Fennec F-Droid for that. It supports about:config.
