Well there are your problems.  You've made assumptions.

First problem is that you're using Rawhide and you really don't seem to know how to work with it or how it
works.

Second, you're posting questions about Rawhide on the "users" list.  This list is for "released" versions
of Fedora.  So, not for Rawhide and not for F33.

Neither Rawhide nor F33 are "rolling" releases.  Meaning they are not constantly having the packages
updated to the "latest" version.

On or about 9/3 the branching occurred.  Rawhide, which was F33, was branched and became "F34".  And,
at the same time F33 became a reality as the Alpha/Beta/ Release.

I keep fully updated versions of F33 (various flavors) for testing purposes as well as Rawhide. 

When it comes to F33 I installed it from an ISO in early September.  So I get this....

[root@f33k ~]# dnf history firefox
ID     | Command line                | Date and time    | Action(s)      | Altered
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     1 |                             | 2020-09-05 19:24 | Install        | 1715 EE

So, you can see, firefox has not be updated by the package maintainer and is currently at.
[root@f33k ~]# rpm -q firefox
firefox-78.0.2-1.fc33.x86_64

When it comes to Rawhide, I installed it a while back....

     1 | [root@frk ~]# dnf history list 1
                            | 2019-12-01 05:30 | Install        | 1665 EE

And just update the configuration to use F34 (a.k.a. rawhide) repositories.

Firefox was last updated on 2020-07-13 11:17 and is currently at
[root@frk ~]# rpm -q firefox
firefox-78.0.2-1.fc33.x86_64

So, if you're expecting consistent upgrades to the latest versions of most applications then you're better off
sticking with the released version of Fedora.
