Dilemma presented by Firefox automatic update

I just received a message offering to update my Firefox. But the message said the update is incompatible with my Webroot 1.72.0 add-on (a security and backup app). But "as soon as they are made comptible, Firefox will update and re-enable these add-ons". This is ambiguous. Does it mean Firefox will make them compatible for me and then perform its update? Does it mean it will simply wait for Webroot to supply an updated version of its add-on and not update Firefox till then? Or does it mean (contrary to the literal meaning but you never know) that Firefox will proceed with it update and leave me to get a compatible version of Webroot if one exists? (If the person answering this is another user just like me, how do you know? Do you have a close enough relationship to the designers of this Firefox update to speak with authority?)
