Yep, Fennec has been my solution to Mozilla abandoning FF on Android.

  That's a weird take, considering Fennec is FF on Android, just with some minor config changes. Your statement is akin to saying: "Firefox on Debian is my solution to Mozilla abandoning FF on desktop" If FF on Android _were_ abandoned, then so would Fennec. I use Fennec, but because I know that it the well-supported, actively developed Firefox on Android, but available on F-Droid. which sadly Mozilla doesn't provide or allow F-Droid maintainers to publish it as "Firefox"

I just checked. Firefox on Google Play is version 101.2.0 from June 8. Fennec on F-Droid is version 97.1.1 from February 26. Maybe it's not abandoned but it doesn't feel that one can count on it for timely bug fixes. Edit: then I remembered that F-Droid has the quirk of requiring a manual refresh of its repository. I did it and got version 101.1.0 from June 5. Much better.
