By "new" I was sure you were going to be talking about version 7 (also released yesterday), haha. Anyways, good to see they're still backporting fixes to the 3.6.x line.

In other words, the only way to get a security update for the latest (until yesterday) release of Firefox is to get a new major version with a good deal of non-security changes, GUI improvement, extension breakage etc.

so what extensions got broken by the 6 -> 7 upgrade? or is this just a fear that something broke?

I don't use much of Firefox or extensions anymore but it seems that there may be a lag in extension management catching up with how version numbers are managed these days. Many extensions seem to be overly conservative in checking what version of FF they are running under. I doubt they are making radical changes to the extensions API and that the contents of the new firefox versions are much like the minor updates of yore but people and applications that presume a full number change represents breakage are breaking themselves in response which isn't appropriate anymore.
That's my guess anyway, Mozilla could win a lot of goodwill by publicly helping make sure extensions don't stop working for every minor update.

AMO will automatically update <maxVersion> when possible and notify developers when not.

In > 3 firefox, there does not seem to be anything like "major" version. It's just the version.
