This is a constant papercut for me too, though so far I haven't quite overcome the inertia to switch to something else. Mozilla does also maintain first-party distributions of Firefox as a flatpak or as a plain old self-updating binary, though, so I'm not anticipating switching distros over it.

Random question: does anyone know whether flatpak solves this?

As a Firefox as flatpak user, it does.

You might still get the "Your browser has been updated" message when opening a new tab, though, and need to reload it.
