T'bird releases keep track with Firefox ones.

F'fox has been on an "accelerated release schedule" since early last
year when F/f 4 came out. There's a new release every 6 weeks or so.

Personally, I think they're just jealous of the speed of Google's
releases of Chrome. It's a nuisance & there are few new features in
each new version.
