I think it's just coincidence. For years FF was "behind", but had a faster release cycle. Now it just happened to reach Chrome and will likely "pull ahead" in numbers.

Chrome now has the same 4 week release cycle as well [1], so they will probably continue to stay close. I know Firefox sometimes adds a week to their cycle due to holidays (especially around Christmas and the New Year). I don't know if Chrome does the same.
