if you install arkenfox yourself, likely you’ll never remember to update it. if you use librewolf or such, the maintainers will take care of it for you
and where do you copy it on your phone? I think it’s not that simple but maybe I missed something

all data of the firefox is located in /data/data/packgename, which is inaccessible without root permissions. a few android versions ago it was accessible through ADB, not anymore. I don’t think it’s possible anymore to install arkenfox on plain firefox android for most users.
even with a rooted phone its not that easy. granting termux root rights and running su, the per-package data folders are not visible, you have to switch to the correct mount namespace somehow. some file manager apps adapted to be able to do that
