I’ve tried it a few times but tend to fall back to Fennec. While Librewolf on desktop is restrictive by design, it also still allows you tweak the settings to your liking (with some scolding). Ironfox felt much more locked down to me, and if a site was completely broken, I couldn’t do anything about it in the settings.
Huh? You can totally change the advanced settings (about:config) for Ironfox. I literally had to do that a few months ago to get a certain feature working for an extension I use cause some javascript and SCP settings were disabled for privacy/security.
Now, I completely understand why you wouldn’t want to spend hours tweaking settings and reading Mozilla’s source code forms to get stuff to work, so if that’s the reason for switching then I get it. But you can absolutely change the config settings, unlike vanilla Android Firefox which doesn’t enable about:config
I know the mobile browser space is just weird overall, especially Firefox forks, but it definitely stood out to me. Things that work totally fine in Librewolf out-of-the-box were totally busted, and most settings are inaccessible.
I’m still keeping an eye on it though, as Fennec leaves a lot to be desired, and using a chromium-based browser like Vanadium won’t do it for me because I rely so much on the cross-platform sync functions.

I went on the same path. I was surprised how many sites were broken in IronFox.

also to add Iron fox is slow as hell. I personally use cromite.
