Today we have some amazing news to share with Firefox Browser fans! The developers of the mobile browser have released a brand-new update and it is rolling out via OTA (over the air) channels to all Firefox Browser fans who use Android-powered smartphones. Therefore, the only requirement to access the new update is to keep your smartphone connected to a stable Wi-Fi network.
Firefox Browser 79.0.5 Update
The first thing that we want to mention about the new update is that it sports the 79.0.5 version number. The update is scheduled to pop up in the notification panels of all Firefox Browser fans who use Android-powered smartphones and have access to a stable Wi-Fi network.
Alternatively, the new update can be manually downloaded and installed in the form of APK (Android Package Kit). However, installing this type of update is a bit tricky since users are first required to enable the “Unknown Sources” option in their smartphone’s Settings panel.
What’s New?
Some Firefox Browser fans might be disappointed to find out that the new update doesn’t come with any exciting features, but fortunately, the update makes up for that by introducing a bundle of bug fixes. Thanks to this, the overall performances and software stability of Firefox Browser are being improved. The mobile browser is going to run much smoother and it will no longer crash.
