Librewolf doesn't have an android port, full stop. If you want a Librewolf style fork on android use something like Ironfox.
I am not certain if Waterfox has a port on android, though.
I have waterfox on my current android. I just wasn't sure how to obtain it outside of Play
You can manage semi-automatic updates through Obtainium, which is available on F-Droid.
For reference, the GitHub repository you'd add to Obtainium:
I'm using Waterfox on Android since the "privacy friendly ad" thing in FF.
Fennec is nice
I use ironfox. No problems except the normal "too much security problems" and yh6ose are fixed with whitelists. It is on fdroid
Thank you! Will check this out
Edit: went to the gitlab page which had a link to F-Droid which shows you to add repository and then download. A couple steps but super easy of anyone is looking! Ironfox says based on Mull browser.

Thank you, I'll check out Fennec too!
Librewolf doesn't have a mobile version
As for Waterfox, they would need to meet the F-droid requirements and then publish to F-droid. That is really difficult in practice as the mobile version of Firefox contains a decent amount of proprietary code.
I would recommend Fennec personally: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid
Be default it doesn't have much in the way of hardening so you might want to go into about:config and enable resist fingerprinting at least
There is:

My favourite ff fork is iceraven btw. https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser
I would strongly recommend against it, from a security and data protection perspective due: "No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability! Note that Iceraven Browser includes some unstable code written by Mozilla, with our own added modifications on top, all shipped with the stable version of GeckoView engine. Hence, the browser may contain bugs introduced upstream. Binaries are currently built automatically by our Github release automation. These binaries are signed with a debug key. When we finally publish this somewhere official like F-droid, we will sign the apks with a proper key suitable for public release. Due to the current way we create the releases and sign them, you may not want to rely on such "alpha" quality software as your primary web browser, as it will have bugs. So, use this browser only if you are comfortable with these limitations/potential risks."
