If you love using Firefox on your Android-powered smartphone to browse the web, then you might want to consider enrolling in the beta program. The reason why we are saying that is because beta users are always among the first ones to access all the latest updates. In fact, a brand-new update that sports the 83.0.0 beta version number has been made available for download.
Firefox for Android – 83.0.0 Beta Update
As previously noted, the new update for Firefox sports the 83.0.0 beta version number. The update is available to download directly via OTA (over the air) channels and this means that the only requirement to access the update is to be enrolled in the beta program and to have access to a stable Wi-Fi network.
Alternatively, the update can also be manually downloaded by users who don’t want to join the beta program. This is possible by getting the update in the form of APK (Android Package Kit). The tricky part about sideloading APK updates is that they are compatible only with devices that have enabled the “Unknown Sources” option.
What’s New?
We are advising all Firefox for Android fans to get the update as soon as possible because it focuses on improving the overall performances. The way that the new update does that is by introducing a bundle of software tweaks and bug fixes that are tackling various issues. As a result, Firefox for Android will run smoother and users will have a lower chance of encountering bugs.
