It is your distro which is forcing an update. Take up the issue with the distro or try installing the Mozilla version.

Only the official builds of Firefox (for Windows, macOS, and Linux) from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ gets internal Firefox software updates.

Package builds of Firefox from Linux distros do not get updates from Mozilla but rather in the package manager or such.
