Firefox versions – what happened to minor releases?

I'm sure Mozilla Firefox fans have taken notice that Mozilla has released two major version releases of Firefox in just the past few months.

Did Mozilla do some market research and reveal that people have a natural tendency towards higher version numbers when selecting a browser (IE 9.0, Safari 5.0, Opera 11.x, etc)?

This was just a way off-topic observation, anyone else have any thoughts on this?
