Most of the world considers a version increase from 23.x to 24 to represent a major release, with many new and changed features. Not so with Firefox. In the interest of marketing, Mozilla has tossed out anything resembling industry standards for naming Firefox’s version numbers.

Version 24 of Firefox fixes a few minor bugs and adds some very minor enhancements: nothing worthy of a major version increase. Version 24 does include several security fixes, which can be seen on the Security Advisories page.

I suppose it almost goes without saying by now, but the release notes and related announcements for Firefox still leave a lot to be desired (see my post about Firefox 23 for details).
