Mozilla is doing a good job of confusing users since FF4 is now at EOL and FF5 was a security update to FF4. [1] Mozilla doesn't even know how long they will support FF3.6, they have a meeting about it next week.

Currently, we are planning to migrate 10.04 and 10.10 to the rapid release cycle when 3.6.x reaches EOL. There is some discussion upstream about a distro supported Firefox LTS and we will keep an eye on those developments. Be assured that we intend to provide a secure browsing experience for the LTS and all the stable releases.
