Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)

  • visit https://market.android.com/publish
  • choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
  • select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
    • choose the multi apk that you downloaded and hit "upload"
      • NOTE: the progress bar does not seem to show progress (at least on Google Chrome)

  • deactivate old apk (You should not see the Error message anymore)
  • hit "Save"
