One of the best things that you can do if you are a big fan of Firefox for Android is to enroll in the beta program. The reason why we are saying that is because beta users are always the first ones to access all of the mobile browser’s latest updates. In fact, a new update that sports the 81.1.1 beta version number is now available to download via OTA (over the air) channels.

Firefox for Android 8.1.1 Beta Update

Right from the start, we want to mention that all Firefox for Android beta users are eligible to download the update just by keeping their smartphones connected to Wi-Fi. If you re not enrolled in the beta program, then you should be pleased to know that Firefox for Android’s developers are welcoming everyone in the program. The only requirement is to provide the developers with solid feedback.

What’s New?

Here are the improvements that the new update introduces:

  • Bottom nav bar for easier access with the option to customize
  • Dark & light themes
  • Collections to organize your tabs
  • Improved support for Progressive Web Apps

We also want to highlight that the update contains a bundle of bug fixes. This is quite important because the bug fixes tackle various issues that sometimes slowed down the mobile browser. Luckily, this is not going to happen anymore.
