No, you should uninstall the Firefox you installed outside of Fedora,
not with dnf.
If you did not do that, then I don't know why it wants to upgrade itself.

I don't know how to check whether you installed it outside of Fedora. But if

rpm -q firefox

says something positive, such as

firefox-105.0.1-1.fc35.x86_64

and not

package firefox is not installed

then you have a version that is installed with dnf. In that case , if

rpm -qV firefox

returns with no messages, there is no reason to reinstall it with dnf.
