Are you sure this applies to Linux?

I had thought the warning shows up when some of the browser's default settings 
have been changed, or additional TLS Certificates have been loaded.  If you go 
to 'about:policies' you'll see anything changed there.  In mine FF has 
DisableAppUpdate, because I manage this via portage and don't need FF to 
notify me, or even worse try to update itself.
