Doesn't sound like something somebody without knowledge of the code can do in

Sure!
There seem however not to be so many alternatives. On this device I have an 
Open Source only policy, thus e.g. Chrome is not an option.
I tried Brave, doesn't start (probably for the same reason).
For the time being I feel safe enough with Firefox 52 and all trackers blocked. 
The device is mostly used for reading, not for wild Safaris :-)

Btw. I needed to reinstall Fennec after the failed upgrade.
While I have Sync set up, I'm not able to restore the previous state.
Despite having the same device name, the new install created a new logical 
device with initial settings. Is there a way to restore from the previous 
instance?
