Zen already makes use of a lot of Betterfox tweaks as I remember.
I don't believe you can use both as they both modify the same files, and would overwrite each other.
Arkenfox is geared more towards privacy at the expense of usability, so sites will break a lot more often. And there's no easy way to turn it off for only 1 site.
