Does that update significantly sooner than the play store or is it mainly for people who don't like to use the play store? Mine is on 118.1 and my play store update history says 3 days ago.

The Play release cycle is a little bit randomized. Sometimes releases take a few days or a week to filter out to users. ffupdater pulls as soon as any of its sources are available and it runs a check (I have mine set to check every 6h.) You'll typically get releases the same day the binary becomes available. I can't think of a time the play store has had a release of the Firefox Beta before I've updated with ffupdater.
