They don't package upstream Firefox, but you can get GNU IceCat Mobile (which is the GNU fork of it). And they also package Firefox Klar (which is the European edition of the "always incognito" version of Firefox they released last year, with all the telemetry disabled).

Firefox Focus elsewhere I think? I really like the concept, I've made it the default browser for opening links and switch to Firefox mostly just when something doesn't render properly (scripts blocked perhaps?)

Firefox Focus gets mentioned a lot on HN yet still doesn't support a simple feature like file upload.

It's Firefox Klar in German speaking countries, and Focus on the rest, not to collude with Focus Magazine brand :)

Klar also has a slightly different codebase, with less tracking, due to different laws in these regions.

what's interesting is that the polish edition of the magazine doesn't seem to care

Wow, that's dumb and makes everything even more confusing. Add to that the actual apps being different with the purpose being the same.
