Depending on what it is that changed it may not matter. abrowser isn't the only project which is 'behind' the official release. Until recently Canonical wasn't keeping up with the newer versions either. They stuck to a stable older supported (for the majority of the time it was included in Ubuntu) release and patched it as needed. When mozilla discontinued support Canonical continued to patch it.

The point of all this is stop putting people down when you obviously have no understanding of the issues.

There are other projects like Tor which also don't keep the browser in sync or "up to date". There simply isn't a need. This a is a project which is ultra concerned about security and privacy.

The point is there are reasons these projects are not always up to date and that is OK!

Each project has different goals and needs. If you absolutely must have an 'up to date' version because of some psychological defect go download it or switch to a distribution that is focused on such things.
