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

Given Germany has some of the strictest privacy laws, I'm betting Klar is the honest version of focus. The fact that both exist separately makes me question Firefox's commitment to privacy.

Looks sus.

If you think it is suspicious you should be able to spot it in the open source repository. Otherwise see the other, and probably only, reason for the different name.
