Does the above "nothing 'great'" mean that the content on:

http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html

and similar URLs for other Mozilla applications, is not anything about

TUV into what are nominally earlier releases of the various Mozilla 
applications?

If this is not the case, why are the security concerns not important?
