Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Ironfox has Firefox sync

This is where not understanding how to use GitHub becomes a problem for me
You can use Obtanium to pull from Github, Gitlab, and a few others, it has a search function. So you can search 'Ironfox' and it will find it on Gitlab, then Obtanium will ask if you want to install it.
Obtanium is available on F-Droid, or from Github...

Usually you want to look for the “releases” tab.
Here.
Nods knowingly, oh yeah these are some links alright
Apk is a package file, grab the one that matches the architecture of your device, probably the arm64 one unless you know otherwise.
They have an f-droid repo on the main page, would recommend installing that way
GitHub is so effing confusing, I can't even. You'd think I'd get the hang of it as often as I need to use it. I feel like UIs for the last like 20 years just get harder and harder for me to follow as everything is condensed into wordless little icons and countless images tile across my screen.
I was thinking the same thing but then I realised that 20 years ago, most software UI was completely built from even tinier wordless images crammed into obtuse tiny buttons or hidden options in nested drop-down menus but we didn't really have much trouble with it back then. Maybe we're all just getting old and our brains don't want to learn new things anymore. Curse you lack of neuroplasticity!
Images not mine but shamelessly stolen from a web search.
I copied this from my other reply in case you don't see it
