It actually was pretty easy. All I did was install Fennec and then tweak a few settings.

  • I switched the browsing protection to strict

  • I installed ublock origin

  • I went to about:config and enabled resist fingerprinting

I ran some fingerprinting tests and my slightly modified Fennec performs about the same as Mull

    Where are you downloading Fennec?

    I see F-droid has a certain version available, is this the one you use?

    “Fennec F-Droid is based on the latest Mozilla Firefox release. It has proprietary bits and telemetry removed, but still connects to various Mozilla services that can track users.”

      F-droid

      I don’t think the telemetry us that big of deal but I also have no idea how to turn it off.

        They’re already off. The Fennec builds on F-Droid apparently don’t even have the option to turn telemetry on – it’s not in the build.

        Go to about:telemetry in the URL bar and it should say that telemetry upload is disabled.
