Am running FF 91.0 64-bit on Windows 10. Until not very long ago, the pop-up notification of a new release included an option to see what was in it before taking action. Now my only choices are Download or Dismiss. I like to know what I'm getting into before I get into it; how do I do that? Presently I can edit info on my present version (for example) https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/91.0/releasenotes/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_campaign=about-dialog by changing 91.0 to 91.0.1 - when I know the new version number - but there must be a better way to avoid flying blind.

That seems to do it; thanks! I am as much interested in when the new release came out as what it fixes. If it's something important to me, I'll install it right away; if not, I'll let the early adopters try it out for a few days. :-)
