It's not.  Latest Mozilla major version is now at 28 (you can check this
by going to the Mozilla home page too), and so is the version shipped by
Fedora.

This large version numbers are due to the somewhat recent (couple of
years maybe) change in policy by Mozilla to "release early, release
often".

Hope this helps,
