That's because Firefox prompts users to install minor updates when they come out, but you're on your to download and install a major one.The argument for 3.6 as a minor update is that it doesn't bring any UI changes or other high-profile feature updates, but it does do a lot under the hood for stability and compatibility with the latest web technologies.
