Yes, you really need to upgrade to the latest version if you want the latest security fixes to be applied. Right now the most secure versions (Supported by Mozilla) are 6.0.2 and 3.6.22.


If you're using 4.0, 4.0.1, 5.0 or 5.0.1 you have to immediately upgrade to 6 (recommended) or downgrade to 3.6.22. Those versions have security problems and no longer supported by security fixes from Mozilla. The people who're using those versions are open to attacks.
