I've seen FFUpdater recommended a couple of times, but I'm unsure why you would need this updater if youve installed your browser from F-droid and update your apps regularly. Does FFUpdater do anything special?

Bromite is dead. Cromite replaced it.

Cromite isn't included in FFUpdater, though, but it does mention that bromite is no longer maintained.
