    Firefox 45 for Android was released to 10% of our FFAndroid release users using the Google Play Store staged rollout feature on Tuesday March 8. After a few days we will assess and decide whether we want to increase to 100% based on crash data and other feedback. This is the 2nd time we have done a staged rollout. This was also done for Firefox 44 for Android.
