FF 3.6 has been available for at least 2010 and part of 2009.

Don't blame others for your own problems when you run antiquated

v.3.6 released January 21st, 2010
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6/releasenotes/

'major' releases...

Isn't that what 'Automatically check for updates' means ?

You need to get a life. It was a security update according to Firefox
when you check for updates. If you don't like my post, don't read it.
