Firefox seems to create groups of usually two elements (or three for the last group if needed):

• if there's no separation between the preceding word and the 1st ref:
• word+1st, 2nd+3rd, 4th+5th, ..., [2q]th+[2q+1]th.
• word+1st, 2nd+3rd, 4th+5th, ..., [2q]th+[2q+1]th+[2q+2]th.
• if the word before the 1st ref is separated (either by white-space or by punctuation):
• 1st+2nd, 3rd+4th, 5th+6th, ..., [2q-1]th+[2q]th.
• 1st+2nd, 3rd+4th, 5th+6th, ..., [2q-1]th+[2q]th+[2q+1]th.
