Firefox and Abrowser

The only difference between Abrowser and Firefox is the addons repository? If so, if I install Firefox and only free addons am I using a GNU-compatible software?

Yes, Firefox, the software is free software with a free software license. The logo is not libre. A logo is not software though, but art, or symbol. So.. if you are ok with that, with the nonfree painted fox, go for it, yes.

There are other differences between the browsers other than artwork licensing, such as Abrowser removing support for HTML5 DRM and also removing telemetry/data collection/tracking (and linking to a free add-on repository).
And is it possible to disable telemetry/data collection/tracking in Firefox (and also HTML DRM)? And if I disable them is Firefox like Abrowser (apart the logo)?

For instance, uBlock Origin is installed by default, DuckDuckGo is the default search engine, settings.js in https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/tree/e635557062a4ae58271908143b644d10ed2a8b12/helpers/DATA/firefox tweaks many settings, etc.
