Wasn't Fennec a couple of major revisions behind due to build issues, and one of said major revisions was a zero-day fix, so yeah, Fennec would be vulnerable.
(I dumped it about two weeks ago once I noticed that it was behind the security patch curve.)
Next time make a post 2 weeks ago. Best to voice concern over things you notice. The person who discovered the XZ backdoor did that and it caught a disaster.
So what do you use instead?
I just installed standard Firefox until they've sorted out their build issues.
From the Play store/Aurora, or is there another way? I remember an app on fdroid that would install different mozilla browsers but I can't find it
You're thinking of FFUpdater
That's the one. It doesn't come up when I search either firefox or mozilla
Iceraven is one alternative worth considering.
I'm not deGoogled, so I just did the play store version, so I'm not sure where else you might grab it.
APK Mirror?
