A lot of people saying Fennec is good on Android. The line at the bottom is a bit of a turn off, isn't it?
Most Firefox forks still have support for Mozilla account sync and the extension malware blacklist, as those are useful features to have. But they do share info with Mozilla.
I believe that Tor browser and Mullvad browser do not phone home to Mozilla. That's my conclusion after using OpenSnitch for some time. Firefox and LibreWolf do phone home Mozilla at startup.
Use IronFox (forked from DivestOS Mull Browser) if you want a private FOSS firefox-based browser on Android. Note that it still lacks per-site isolation like every other FF based browser on Android, but this seems to be the most harden option available.
