I've been told about Mull and fennec, but what about:

(From what I understand)

Firefox Focus: blocks trackers and erases browsing history
Firefox Nightly: new updates every night
Firefox Klar: german version of focus
Iceraven Browser: 3rd party fork with more add ons

One of their partners in that region already established a brand under the same name.

From https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/difference-between-firefox-focus-and-firefox-klar

Klar by Firefox is the German-language version and only available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It includes the same features as the English-language app Focus by Firefox.

Why did we change the name/replace the app?

The publishing and media company Burda, which the news magazine FOCUS belongs to in Germany, is one of our partners. We therefore decided to replace our app "Focus by Firefox" in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland by "Klar by Firefox".
