Yes it is true. It have insecure sandbox but in your case it seem like you still use vanadium, if you only use Firefox for known website for the webapp. The insecure sandbox is not that big of a deal anymore. Still from a pure security point, Firefox is not great.

If you don’t mind hardening firefox on android. You can try Firefox with uBlock. It give some small advantage compared to Brave like more filters list from uBlock, the element picker thing, and no brave, etc. The performance can be questionable though.
Fennec and Cromite is always outdated compared to their upstream. If you care about security it is quite problematic. I recommend just install UBlock on Firefox then use Arkenfox, or Betterfox on it. It is a bit more complex to do on android, but it is possible. If anyone is interested here is a tutorial
I’ve switched from Librewolf to Zen for a few months now, and it’s been great so far. There is all the fun features like the essentials tab, and the tab groups. Also Zen Mods is super cool. It is like a repo of css mods for zen.
There was some controversy about the debug thing, but as others pointed out, it happened during the alpha phase, when the development team is still new to the project.
For hardening, you can use Arkenfox, Betterfox, or Phoenix. All of these work on Zen (I’ve tried them all). Librewolf is based on Arkenfox, so if you use it, you’ll get most of Librewolf’s privacy features. I recommend Arkenfox. Personally, I believe Betterfox is a balance take between privacy and usability, while Phoenix is the most extreme option. Arkenfox offers stronger privacy features than Betterfox but is not as extreme as Phoenix.
Edits: also don’t forget uBlock :)
This is why I don’t use GNOME apps on a tiling WM. They always have an absurd amount of padding.
