<p>You can <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/">grab the update from Mozilla</a> or just search for Firefox in the Google Play Store.</p>
<p>As with the desktop release, the Android release is light on new features, but it does add support for <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/themes/">themes</a> and, more importantly, lowers the CPU requirement for Firefox on Android to 600MHz. </p>
<p>The lower CPU requirements open up the possibility of running Firefox on a few more Android devices, though keep in mind that Firefox still requires Android 2.2 or better. You can peruse the <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#System_Requirements">full list of known supported devices</a> to see if your older Android device is on the list.</p>
<p>Web developers will be happy to note that the same updated standards support found in today&#8217;s desktop release  &#8212; namely support for <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/@page"><code>@page</code></a>, full width text transforms and the new <a href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-values/#viewport-relative-lengths">viewport percentage units</a> like <code>vh</code>, <code>vw</code>, <code>vmax</code> and <code>vmin</code> &#8212; is also in the mobile version.</p>
<p>For a list of everything that&#8217;s new in Firefox 19 for Android, as well as a list of bugs and issues that remain, check out <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/19.0/releasenotes/">Mozilla&#8217;s release notes</a>.</p>
