updates on android?

I noticed that my install of FF on android phone is only version 68 (which says latest) while desktops & laptops are all on 72. Is the Android version no longer updated or is something wrong with my install?

Firefox for Android is following the ESR (Extended Support Release) versioning type. For now, it receives only security updates, so there's no need to increment the big number.

With the next major update it will switch to Firefox Preview, and that will happen this spring.

Thank you! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something important. The difference between 68 and 72 seemed huge.
