Firefox updates

Why is Firefox constantly downloading updates? It seems it's updating multiple times a week. Is there something crucial that Mozilla developers are finding that needs fixing? I work in IT and I'm a software developer so I'm concerned that Mozilla finds it necessary to keep updating what seems to be too often. Can someone tell me why this is happening? Are there serious problems that need to be fixed quickly? I'm really curious.

Hi, you can find the Release Notes here -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/

Usually there's one main release a month and 1-2 dot releases. This month is special with 3 dot releases (1 a week)

Best case there are no minor updates though sometimes one or more minor updates may be warranted for security and or stability foxes that could not wait.
