The new FF just released. Not many extensions supported though. 9 nos. of extensions supported as seen in the below screenshots

Get it from apkmirror in the link provided. It's pretty fast as few extensions are loaded and I have not tinkled with the preferences yet

It's a stupid decision to release it to stable before they've finished supporting all the extensions. There's only a handful of Firefox for Android users out there, why disappoint them! Personally, I need CookieAutodelete along with uBlock Origin but the former is not available yet. I've been trying out the Nightly version for a long time and now disabled update for the stable version to keep the old one.

Any idea when it is available in Google Store? FF beta is version 80. Tried FF beta, but could not find a setting to adapt the new tab page. I don't like browsers with no NTP configuration.

Maybe v79 user can show where to personalize new tab page

EDIT
Unexpected surprise FF v69 seems to offer what I am looking for on mobile: configurable new tab (showing bookmarks), auto delete history on exit, block tracking cookies and 2 extensions (adblock for youtube and ublock with Kees1958 top 3000 and Aguard mobile ads filter) 👍
