Major update generation is not kicked off automatically. You should only create them once the final builds for the "latest" build are ready.
For instance, the 3.6.26 builds got created a week before the 10.0 release but the "final" 10.0 builds were not created after few days.
Follow instructions from the [[Release:Release_Automation_on_Mercurial:Documentation#Major_Update_.28Firefox_only.29|Major update]] documentation.
