    118.0.1 was first released on Sept 28 too, so this isn't exactly breaking news.

    It should also be noted here (you know, TL;DR) that it's also fixed in:
    Firefox ESR 115.3.1
    Firefox Focus for Android 118.1
    Firefox for Android 118.1
    Thunderbird 115.3.1

      And Tor Browser 12.5.5 which has backported the security fixes from Firefox ESR 115.3.1.

  If anyone wants an easy way to stay on top of browser updates on Android ffupdater does a great job tracking releases for the whole Firefox ecosystem as well as forks and TOR tools.

  I have it setup to update Firefox Beta, Mull and Orbot for me as soon as new releases drop.

    Obtanium is really good option too and can handle more than just browser updates. Pretty much any Android APK release can be setup and it supports a wide variety of different repository sources.

    I love Fennec, but really hate fdroid’s build system. It means when they push an update, it can take up to a week for it to actually be downloadable from fdroid. Yet Mull is based on Fennec and can be updated within a day or two, because they’re in the IzzyOnDroid fdroid repo.

  Is this why I’ve been getting the moz:developer thingy before site loads?
