Firefox auto update - Mint 19.3 and Mint 20


I run two Mint machines, 19.3 and 20, both have Firefox set to auto update.

My Mint 19.3 Firefox updates automatically, but my Mint 20 install doesn't. Couldn't find anything on the Mint site, maybe someone here can offer a tip or two.

Here's the tech bit:
Code:
Mint 19.3 - Firefox version is 82.0.6 64bit
about:config - app.update.auto is true

Mint 20 - Firefox version is 79.0 64bit
about:config - app.update.auto is true
cheers folks

Why aren't you updating it from mint repository with the rest of the installed packages?

Good point, thanks, I'll do that right now, but why didn't auto update work?
