i prefer to download updates on my own schedule, especially when automatic updates
(to any program, not only firefox) become too frequent, unexpected or inconvenient
as seems especially evident the case of mozilla firefox (and thunderbird, although
some users may depend on automatic updates), i'd recommend a more relaxed approach...
uncheck "install updates":
firefox > tools > settings > general > automatically install updates (recommended)
switch to "check for updates":
firefox > tools > settings > general > check for updates but let you choose to install them
this way, the most current firefox update (currently "140.0.2") can be downloaded
anytime with a simple mouse click . . . avoiding needless interruptions from bots
