[ubuntu-hardened] Firefox security update - Ubuntu's new release issues?

Hello Everyone.

I've noticed that on official Security Advisories website for
Firefox ESR, last updated version is 24.1.1[1] while Ubuntu
has released (Tue, Oct 29) Firefox  25.0+build3-0ubuntu0.x[2]

I would like to ask if it's normal? I'm a little confused because
e.g. Slackware Linux has updated Firefox to 24.1.1esr version[3]
on Monday, 18 Nov. So, why there is such a hurry with update
(I mean Ubuntu)? Even on a official Firefox SA website, there
is not any information about Firefox 25.

Best regards.
