I'm afraid I don't have any real solution, since I get Firefox from the play store, but its my secondary browser; I get Mull from Obtainium (kinda like a Librewolf for android), you might look into that? I know this is kind of not what you wanted to hear though and im sorry

Mull is the way.
Thanks for the tip.
No problem! I'm glad it was helpful
Straight from Mozilla:
stable: https://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/fenix/releases/
nightly: https://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/fenix/nightly/
Are you sure the GitHub releases aren't being updated anymore? When I checked here not too long ago, they were still being updated. I know they said they changed the positaries, but I don't know how long ago that was. But I know for a fact that I was able to pull Firefox focus version 122 off of GitHub.
Yea, 125.3 on GH, 126 on Play Store.
Fennec 127 on fdroid. Now that I think about it, I believe I did see a post the other day about Mozilla completing a move to some other system. Let me see if I can find it.
Edit: Here it is, though I'm not sure if this will help at all. But it may at least explain something.
Oh yea I forgot about them announcing that. I will look into it.
Is there a non-nightly version? I only use nightly on my tablet for the new "desktop tabs" feature. And how would I use this in Obtainium?
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/fenix/releases/127.0/android/
Is the latest release. As for how to use it in obtainium, I don't know sorry, as I don't use it.
Y'all living on the wild side.
Not really. Safest place to get an app is from the Dev if you're not using the play store. FDroid has been known to host out of date packages forever, causing security concerns.
Obtainium is pretty easy to use.
Obtainium fucking rules
The Play Store is pretty good with keeping things up to date.
Fennec is better Firefox anyway. Why can't you use it? Firefox for Android has a lot of proprietary components
What's different about Fennec on F-Droid? That's what I use.
You know, it used to be different architecture, but it looks like it may he the same now.
I think is is basically the same thing without telemetry and proprietary blobs.
