This is caused by the fact that updates to Firefox are published as
security updates, and the default configuration is to automatically
download and install security updates. Which is a sensible default for
most users, but I agree can be disrupting in the case of a long running
end-user application like Firefox.
An option is to open software-properties-gtk, go to the "Updates" tab,
and change the value of the "When there are security updates" dropdown
to something else than the default ("Download and install
automatically").
This is not a bug in the firefox package itself.
