Is it much different from private browsing in regular Firefox with ublock, adblock, etc?

Some websites auto reject cookies, it blocks some ads (highly recommend something like adAway on F-droid), and every time you close the app, it deletes all cookies and history

Is it possible to configure regular Firefox that way or is it exclusive to this variant. Is there value to having both?

I have both, and have Focus set as default, it closes all tabs and deletes the history every time. If I want a website to persist I'll open it in the regular one, so I get to choose 😬

Specifically related to the posted picture, the regular firefox mobile (and desktop) can be configured to not show your history inside of your search/address field, so that you can have your history without it being discoverable to unintentional inspection.

You can achieve the same in regular Firefox with extensions, configuration and private mode, but you need to put the effort and remember to activate private mode. Firefox Focus comes configured to try to maximise privacy over making all sites work by default.
