I was running FF 85.1.1 on my phone. Today, the Play Store told me that there was a Firefox update available (I have auto-update turned off). I looked at the Play Store description, and it said nothing about what was new in the update (85.1.2). So I updated it. As soon as I updated it, Play Store told me that there was still an update available. This time it was 85.1.3. Wow, two in one day! Still no information about what is new in these releases.

If I go to the triple-dot menu and select "What's New", it takes me to a web page that says what is new for version 85. Nothing about these minor releases.

Where can I see what was new in the minor releases?

Hi

The data is openly available, but it is not very user friendly if you are not used to developer tools. If you go to https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/compare/v85.1.2...v85.1.3 and set the version numbers, you will be able to see what has changed between updates.

Hi

These updates contain a number of fixes to previously unresolved issues. There have been no new features of note beyond that.

So are you saying that we can not see what fixes are in each release?
