Perhaps, I hadn't thought that any significant security issues had been found in recent versions. Are there any I should be concerned about? If not, my reasoning is that I don't want to break what is working perfectly fine for me as is.

After looking at https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firef... there doesn't seem that there are any to be concerned about. However, in case you are right, I'm recompiling a more recent version of Firefox.

Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.

There's several of those. They're also fixed in the ESR (10.x) releases.
