That’s quite strange that Mozilla hasn’t tagged 87.0.0 yet (only rc.1): Releases · mozilla-mobile/fenix · GitHub
I added Fennec 87.0.0-rc.1 yesterday: Update Fennec F-Droid to 87.0.0-rc.1 (56d5c5d5) · Commits · F-Droid / Data · GitLab

I don’t like the drift between desktop and mobile or the lack of security advisories for mobile that have appeared after the switch. But I am also grateful for having such a nice browser on this platform.

I want to clean up my bookmarks. Fennec/Firefox mobile does not have a native way to delete old, now non-existant, bookmarks for a site that redirect to, for instance, the site’s main page.
Example: pCloud - Best Cloud Storage Pricing & Cost Plans (old bookmark) redirects to pCloud - Best Cloud Storage Pricing & Cost Plans.
How to delete this old bookmark? Is there some way to manage bookmarks at all? Optimally I would be able export, edit, import, but afaik that’s not doable for mobile.
Any help at all with dealing with bookmarks would be greatly appreciated. I remember reading something about using ffsync, then editing them on the PC, but I don’t use ffsync.
Sadly there’s no easy solution. You have to find the bookmark manually (which is basically impossible if you have many bookmarks) in the bookmarks menu and delete it there… Hopefully some day they implement a function to search and filter your bookmarks, I think there’s an open bug about that.
That’s the thing, how to delete it. Finding it is no problem—it shows up when I type “pCloud”, but no way to delete it, afaik.
EDIT: Ah, I reread and now see what you mean.
Sorry if it’s been mentioned before. Not sure how to scan from terminal, or whether a package manager shows the info better… Probably does, but here are 3 trackers and one logger still present in Fennec:
What you mean that they dont do nothing , when in Fdroid app still says that send info to Mozilla and Google?
@PorFin
I mean the code for those trackers is empty, and does absolutely nothing.
There are other requests the browser makes
- tracking protection lists
- safebrowsing lists
- search engine update lists
- add-on lists
- blocked add-on lists
- update checking
- feedback reporting
- release notes
- mozilla news snippets
- pocket integration
- error reporting
- crash reporting
- wifi location lookup
- network connectivity checks
- firefox sync
- etc.
Hosts for blocking at least some of these requests. If anyone has more please consider expanding or updating this.

Yes. Lol. See Anti-features. 
I think only “shavar…” (safebrowsing) is automatically contacted by Fennec but I don’t know how it behaves under certain conditions.
Initial start of Fennec F-Droid is:
shavar.services.mozilla.com.
firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com.
tracking-protection.cdn.mozilla.net.
content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net.
services.addons.mozilla.org.
addons.cdn.mozilla.net.
Initial start of Firefox is:
location.services.mozilla.com.
firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com.
shavar.services.mozilla.com.
tracking-protection.cdn.mozilla.net.
content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net.
www.google.com.
services.addons.mozilla.org.
addons.cdn.mozilla.net.
Antifeatures are something, actual behaviour might differ.
Vulnerabilities are found every month, what made you post about them this time? 
BTW I pushed the 81.1.3 update today: Update Fennec F-Droid to 88.1.3 (2292428b) · Commits · F-Droid / Data · GitLab
looked more of interest
