Firefox can update to 5.0.1 from 3.6.20 (on WinXP).
Problem of release management?

Yes we are a bit late for MU.

Hmm, I'm please to see that update to TB 6.0 is *not* proposed by TB 3.1.
Update stays in 3.1 branch, and it's quite like that (Addon shall not be compatible with TB 6).

If Firefox can update from 3.6.20 to 5.0.1, I can't say if it's a Firefox bug... or a different version management choice (could in fact be a minor version).

Fixed by 3.1.13 is on it's way so you might not see it.
