I’ve summarised this article for you:

The latest full version of Firefox is out, and it marks the first of two upgrades you’ll see this month. As a result of Firefox version upgrades happening every 28 days, if a release comes out early in the month, there will be a second upgrade squeezed at the end. This current version does not have any zero-day vulnerabilities, but still has some bug reports to look out for. To update, head to Firefox -> About Firefox if you have a Mac, or Help -> About Firefox on other platforms. If you are using a BSD or Linux distro, you may need to check with the provider before updating.

Bulletpoints:
– The latest version of Firefox is out and marks the first of two upgrades for the month.

– This current version does not have any zero-day vulnerabilities, but has bug reports to look out for.
