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

Firefox just added addon support officially on mobile. All other firefox browsers that enabled them in the past do not differ in this regard anymore.

Focus and klar are the same with a diffrrent name: wtf firefox? It's a very lightweight, very fast browser which enhances privacy a little bit, especially locally.

Nightly is the developer version of firefox if you want to help firefox and discover bugs use it, you won't experience many bugs though. Unless you really use the latest features. There may be other bugs though, use at your own risk.

For the serious privacy minded person you should use mull or at least fennec. If mull is too hardened for you, you can soften it again by disabling the settings.

On January 25, 2016, Mozilla announced in its press blog that the Firefox Focus web browser will be called Firefox Klar in German-speaking countries. The reason for this is that the publishing and media group Burda, which owns the magazine Focus, is a partner of Mozilla. (Wikipedia)
