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
All true. But I would prefer fine tuning and taking my chances with refresh rate. Still, I'm back on Mull for now.
