It's funny because IE's had some actual changes between versions, and there's good reason for the thing to be at version 9 already, since the browser has evolved with every new OS Microsoft releases.
But Firefox? No reason. All it does is confuse people and break add-ons that still rely on the older "Works on up to version X.YZ" settings.
