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.

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.

Actually it's more then a week, because checking right now, Fennec is still on 117.1 which came out 9/22. That's a massive security issue for a web browser.
