I haven't, but I will now! :)
Go for it, Ironfox is brilliant.
Can second IronFox, it's my daily.
Go for it. It's really good in terms of privacy
Ironfox is pretty great for privacy, and tries to not break things, but they do have some configs you really have to dig for and already know about if something breaks.
I had the displeasure of finding out that the loopback and localhost was listed as a blocked domain for extensions, which is why an extension of mine couldn't connect to an app running on my phone. It was hard to find help for my issue, and I had to get lucky to find a solution for it (literally one person has my issue). Honesty, this extension gets broken every few months due to IronFox configs, due to JavaScript, WASM, SCP, or now this... I almost gave up on IronFox and went to Fennec π
