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.
$ rpm -q firefox
firefox-105.0.2-1.fc36.x86_64
[btth@localhost ~]$ rpm -qV firefox
OK; so reinstalling is not the answer,alas!

You can fix this by going into
edit->settings->general If you page down, near the bottom there will be a
setting to allow or disable automatic updates.
I tried that. Clicking on ">>" and scrolling got me to
edit->settings->general (as did clicking on the equivalence sign,
eventually), but I don't find the setting for automatic updates. Might it
have been renamed?
