Title basically. I want to know what are the differences and which is the best in terms of privacy. Also, F-Droid says that Fennec tracks your activity, is it true?

TL;DR: Mull > Fennec > Firefox

I would prefer the longer version, if you don't mind sharing

Okay, basically to keep things simple:

Mull is like LibreWolf on Desktop a hardened Firefox Version made by DivestOS with tweaks from arkenfox's user.js and more, is recommended by them to use it together with uBO.

Fennec is a slighly improved Version of Firefox, it has enchanced Tracker blocking and removes proprietary and telemetry stuff, but it still makes some connections to Mozilla and Google.

Firefox for Android is basically Firefox for Android, it includes some unnice stuff, like non opensource anti-privacy trackers and a bit more. It has basic protections, but isn't that powerful, still better than Google Chrome on Android.
