Automatic background updates of firefox are disabled in the Ubuntu
builds (see the `--disable-updater` flag in about:buildconfig). Could it
be that you're running an upstream version instead of the Ubuntu
package?
Note however that apt updates to the Ubuntu package are distributed through the
security pocket, and the default setting is to download and install security
updates automatically.
You can change that setting (`software-properties-gtk --open-tab=2`), but
beware that this will apply to all security updates. Alternatively you could
`apt-mark hold firefox`.
Interrupting users' browsing session is not optimal, but it is a trade-
off for improved security overall.
