If you installed Firefox from a package manager, the package manager may have tweaked Firefox so that it can be in control of when Firefox updates. The alternative option is to install Firefox directly from Mozilla to bypass those tweaks, but then the theming might be somewhat different (if that matters to you).

This is how Mint set it up -- the package manager handles the updating. Why do you consider it to be a problem?
