What is up with the amount of trackers in Ironfox? Way more than any other apps.
Surely this is not in keeping with their whole privacy vibe?

Is this without having ever visited any websites in that time period and with no plugins installed? Otherwise, it's likely much of that is the websites rather than the app. For example, YouTube doesn't make much sense for a browser itself to contact.
OK I get you. So what I see there will change over time depending on my browsing activity. Tracker Control is just picking them up because they originate in the browser? That makes sense.
To answer your question, no it's not a fresh view.
I'm glad theres a logical answer!
