I use Librewolf on my work and personal desktops, then Waterfox on my Android. I prefer Waterfox, but I find the logo so lame looking I settle for Librewolf. The OOTB settings for LW are super strict and a slog to deal with unless disabled. WF feels like using FF in just about every way.

Agree on waterfox's android icon looking bland lol. and a lot of icon packs don't have an icon for waterfox and still not making it despite requests.
