From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Distributing software is not instantaneous. Assuming that Mozilla has already sent the update to flathub, it will take some time before it's validated and available for download.
If instead of flatpak you had used native packages, you would be in the same situation, as fedora's update system keeps updates in testing until enough people say it's fine.
If you wanted to get the update as soon as possible, you would have to download the prebuilt binary from Mozilla, but then you would have to update manually and everything.
Just be patient for a few days.
I think they are asking, why it shows it needs to update even though they already have the updated versions.
But it's already up to date. It shows updates to the version they're already using.
Maybe look at the post before responding haughtily?
