Interestingly it was delayed by 3 days due to a malware problem.

A fix for a critical issue in the Firefox PDF viewer

We had version 39 & that jumped to 39.03.
Where are numbers .01 & .02
That shouldn't have been necessary. Must be a glitch. Mine just updated to 39.0.3 and I'm running as standard user (Win 8.1). But there was a period on Win 7 at least where I had to run as admin to apply an update, after they'd introduced the silent update policy.
I've long given up interpreting version numbers from software vendors. Just apply one rule. The higher the numbers or the greater the year number the later the version.
Maybe .01 and .02 were internal builds that never got released?
Nothing.

Firefox started to lose the plot as far back as version 4.
I have add-on compatibility checking disabled, so they all work still. ;-)
I know in the early days you had to add a line to the about:config to trick older addons into running on an unsupported version but this appears to be a different issue.
You used to be able to do it with a simple change as you say. However now each add-on has to be changed......Try THIS add-on that does the work.....
Do you have a couple of examples?
Yahoo Mail Notifier - Wont login
NicoFox - Detects content but downloads never start
Zen Broadband Usage Viewer - Wont login
4Chan - Drop-down menu of text and imageboards doesn't display any content nor does the extra navigation menu show up on the site [nsfw]
4ChanGrab - Doesn't detect images [nsfw]
YouTube Tooltip - Doesn't seem to do anything
You could try X-Notifier as an alternative. I haven't tested it with Firefox 40 yet and I have it disabled at work (where I am now) but it's been OK in versions up to 39, though it does get updated regularly, so maybe if it didn't it would be broken by Firefox updates!
