Going to the about window to check for updates is a decades old thing among thousands of different software(it's the same in Edge, Chrome, Opera(old and new), etc)
Clicking on the "Add-ons and Themes" literally takes you straight to the extension tab(extensions are add-ons).
First of all, I know other browsers keep update in about page, however, this is why I don't use them. It wasn't used to be in a burger menu tho.
Second, add-ons and theme isn't saying exactly "extensions". Also, it would take you to the last tab which is by default plug-ins. try it.
I like Firefox and I'd support the developers but they should stick to their roots to keep their current user base.
You can click the Extensions toolbar icon that was added by default for everyone a bit ago, and at the bottom of the list of your extensions it has a "Manage Extensions" option (it is actually pinned to the bottom of the visible menu, so even if you have enough extensions that it "overflows" into a scroll menu, the Manage Extensions button is always visible). That page lets you remove / configure any currently installed extensions, and has a search bar for the Extensions store as well.
