Are there specific reasons for not using latest (or late-er) Firefox

It's the latest udpated Firefox 3.6 branch. FF4 branch has been killed and
replaced with 5. We have FF5 testing bundles. See

Thanks. I realize the latest stable TBB has FF 3.6. Is the reason for
delay in updating to latest FF version always for testing - to see if
Tor works properly?
Firefox versions used in stable TBB have always run behind the latest FF
release - sometimes several versions. This may well be unavoidable for
TBB developers. My original question - how does this affect the
security of TBB users?
