Does Firefox updater place an “Update” module on an iMac that is viewable in Finder?

There’s a new module in Finder on my iMac named “Update”. The only thing I updated recently is Firefox. When Firefox automatically updates, is an update module placed in the computer? It appears the same as any internal or external drive and Finder.

No, updates within Firefox are downloaded to a cache folder out of sight, and run their recipe without being too visible anywhere.

Any disk image with Firefox is called simply "Firefox" so that's what you'd see in sidebar for easier identification;)

This sounds more like some volume mounted perhaps even temporarily — there should be an icon to eject the drive if it's just an image:
