I've been running Ffx since it was iirc 'phoenix' and Fedora since
it was RH7; I can't begin to recall all the tweaks I've tried since the
Nineties.
So do I have this right? I should run 'dnf remove firefox', then
'dny install firefox'. Reboot between?
No, you should uninstall the Firefox you installed outside of Fedora,
not with dnf.
If you did not do that, then I don't know why it wants to upgrade itself.
I don't know how to check whether you installed it outside of Fedora. But if
rpm -q firefox
says something positive, such as
firefox-105.0.1-1.fc35.x86_64
and not
package firefox is not installed
then you have a version that is installed with dnf. In that case , if
rpm -qV firefox
returns with no messages, there is no reason to reinstall it with dnf.
