Firefox still not updating in the background like other browsers

I already have "Automatically install updates" and "When Firefox is not running" enabled.

But after each Firefox update I still get the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes..." prompt and "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments" window. These are inconvenient as they require user input and take up time.

I don't get these on all other browsers I use (including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave), which all update in the background seamlessly.

Is there a way to prevent these in Firefox and just have Firefox update seamlessly in the background like other browsers?

I previously disabled automatic updates, but a message would still appear in the top-right asking if I want to install the newest version. And Firefox gets a lot of updates so that was way more distracting than the seamless updates I get on other browsers. If there is a way to disable that message, I could settle with that.

Edit: After some research, Mozilla Maintenance Service was disabled in msconfig.exe, I guess by me thinking it wasn't needed. I re-enabled it. Hopefully that fixes it; if it continues I'll provide an update.
