I disagree. It's very valid.

Every once in a while, a serious security issue is discovered, and we
security guys try to fix it as soon as possible. The press and/or word
of mouth spreads the news about the need to upgrade.

I have the strong opinion, that in this particular scenario, a
sedating statement "Firefox is up to date" is counterproductive,
because it stops people from comparing the announced version number
with the one they are running.
