Interesting. Was it a regular Android notification or something custom in-app?

For me, there was no indication that this update was going to be any different from a minor bugfix they've rolled out a couple of days ago, until I've launched FF for the first time after the update and was a greeted by a full screen splash with the new version info.

Mine popped up in the notification area thingy at the top, like any other app notification. Clicking on it took me to a web page detailing the changes.

I've been running Nightly and Regular side-by-side for a while. I still use Regular the most, mainly because I find the new UI quite horrible to use. Nightly is clearly much smoother to use though.
