It also works on the Fennec branch

Is that still supported in some shape or form?

    That's just regular Firefox with the addon restrictions and trademarks removed,. That doesn't just magically spawn API support. I thought you meant the 68.x branch which actually had broad extension support and received one additional update over Firefox 68 because the ESR branch was further updated for a bit: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mozilla/fennec-f-droid/fennec-f-droid-68-12-0-release/

    In 2023, everyone I know refers to the version I linked as the Fennec branch. I guess I assumed you were too.

    I was a bit hung up on the term 'branch' because in my understanding Fennec F-Droid falls more under patch set. Mozilla used Fennec as code name for Firefox Mobile before the GeckoView migration and I had hoped the old Fennec branch would live on in some shape or form.

  • Yeah I'm aware of that name's origins. People use "branch" to describe Waterfox and Mull as well. If you ask about "Fennec branch" in current year, it's what I've linked. Nearly anyone who talks about it is referring to that. Just a heads up.
