That is true for add-ons. It is not true for Firefox upgrades.

In Linux versions of Firefox, there is no "Tools/Options"; it is a 
Windows convention. The equivalent for Linux is:
Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Update. What is displayed in the Update pane 
is:

"Automatically check for updates to
        Addons
        Search engines"

which isn't quite the same thing. There is certainly nothing about 
upgrades to the browser being voluntary.

But it's nice to know about Windows browsers too.
