No, you just need to deliver the latest release in updates. Previously Mozilla sometimes broke things in "security updates", shipped a pretty large new feature in 3.6.4, and complaints we low to non-existent. Not that we guarantee that we have tested all updates well and they contain a small amount of feature updates as well, you think it's non-acceptable. A strange move in my eyes, driven mostly by fears of bad things, uncertainty of the actual process and doubt that it works.
You know that a Linux distribution contains thousands of packages and where would we end up when every package would be handled that way? There is a reason why version updates are considered bad if you want to keep a distribution stable. The key point for openSUSE so far is to keep the behaviour of the whole distribution consistent but secure for its lifetime so nobody needs to run into unexpected changes. Both sides have their points and personally I like to have the latest Firefox (I always had anyway) and given the addon compat is improved so people don't need to end up with non-working addons it's probably the better choice. My biggest concern of all is that Mozilla now _properly_ killed every Gecko embedding application (thanks that a lot of consumers have switched to webkit earlier).
