It has been disabled, as per the policy. It looks something like this in the policies.json file:
{
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true
}
}
This is why when mainline Firefox increments to the next major version, you have to manually download the corresponding LibreWolf version as LibreWolf closely watches the new mainline updates.
In terms of security, it kind of sucks having to manually do this, but it's a small price to pay for a hardened stripped down Firefox with all the Mozilla crap (Pocket, Telemetry etc) stripped out.
