    LibreWolf has the on-machine translation and when you disable some of the hardcore privacy defaults it is a quite good Firefox replacement.

      Why are none of these Firefox alternatives in my distro’s repository?

      But has no mobile version effectively making it useless.

        Firefox Desktop doesn’t have a mobile version, they just call an entirely separate codebase for the mobile version Firefox as well. If you want a mobile alternative there is Fennec.

        Just use something else on mobile. I use mull (until it becomes insecure because I think they stopped working on it) and fennec.

        Fennec supports extensions and syncing so it should be okay for most use cases.

          please consider switching to ironfox, it’s a mull fork

            Fennec and Librewolf support logging into a Firefox account and thus sync. However, that obviously partially brings you back to the Mozilla problem…
