I'm not even sure if the linux version of FF has an auto-updater. And even if it does every distro I've ever used (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and currently Arch Linux) must disable it, because I've never had FF try to auto update on linux.

Automatic updates don't play nicely with package managers that install things as root, so it is disabled during the build process. It does exist though, and is enabled on Linux if you download firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new. OP in this thread seems to be using that installer with automatic updates, and then disabling it by hand, since when updating via a package manager you don't run into this issue.
