Firefox automagically detects, that it is *not* able to update and just
notifies the user about the update. The real update comes *always* via
package manager.

Are you sure Firefox does this, or is this the package maintainers work? If you "install" Firefox directly from the released archives to your home directory update works as on a Windows machine. At least it does so for nightlies, which are located in my home directory.
