Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data

  Is it? It seems to be maintained by a user named relan based out of Russia. It’s just a few scripts to build it for F-Droid and basically just removes some proprietary stuff. It’s not a fork, just a build script.

      Yes, this is built from Mozilla’s sources, but AFAIK Mozilla doesn’t maintain this build script, and the build script strips out certain parts of Firefox and adds in others (e.g. logo). It’s not a fork of Firefox, it’s just a builder that replaces parts of Firefox.

      So Mozilla doesn’t maintain Fennec, since Fennec is a separate build of Firefox, but they do maintain what Fennec is built from.
