I'd probably have more sympathy if they just jumped the version number to 11 to catch opera or something than release monthly builds upping the major number every month :/
Netscape did that years ago to "catch up" to IE.
Then it's a one time "geeze" to get over rather than them making version numbers completely meaningless by abusing them that way (you too google!!) | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Scratch built

At Least One Firefox 4.x Release ahead of Firefox 5.0
Quote: It appears that Firefox won’t evolve directly from version 4.0 to 5.0, but that it will take a slight 4.x detour.
Christian Legnitto, Firefox release manager revealed that there “will be at least one Firefox 4.x release,” following the general availability of version 4.0 next week.
Mozilla has already decided on March 22nd, 2011 for the launch of Firefox 4.0 Final which, for all purposes intended will be identical to the Release Candidate 1 (RC1) development milestone.
“Please note that this plan does not have any bearing on the proposed Firefox 5+ development plan as Firefox 4 was developed under a different system and has different needs,” Legnitto explained.
