But we're not talking about Firefox's update mechanism here, we're talking about Librewolf's. They are already the custodians of custom settings and making the choice for you, so it doesn't seem like a valid comparison here.
I would also say a web browser should be the one piece of software constantly updated due to the sheer volume of security patches issued every few weeks.

Doesn't matter. I don't inherently trust any organization.

I can make the choice to install software. I should be able to make the choice to upgrade it as I choose as well.
If I buy a chair from Crate+Barrel, I have given them the choice of designing and manufacturing that chair and all the decisions that went into it. But I do not give Crate+Barrel the choice of sneaking into my house and swapping it with some newer version of the chair that 51% of the population liked slightly better after 5 minutes of testing or that they think will make them more money somehow.

I think that's completely valid.
I was just assuming (maybe incorrectly?) we're talking about what should be happening in general (so what the experience for the layman should be). Now whether that applies to Librewolf is another story, but arguably it becoming fairly known, it should.
Side-note: In Waterfox, I've re-added the ability to disable auto-updating completely. I completely understand the want to manually update software.
