Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0
Steps to reproduce:
Launching Firefox
Actual results:
Message box "Firefox is installing updates...", then revision notes page displays.
Expected results:
No notification at all :
Working on many different machines, this can take too much time in a day of work. (Notifications kill efficiency)
So "nothing displayed" would be great, just start or the old version if update is not finished or the new version but Start without waiting Firefox to work on it's things.

Are you seeing that dialog box stay on the screen for more than a few seconds? If so then that might be a bug in itself; it isn't expected to take long enough to become an issue.
The dialog box isn't a "notification", it's just the status bar for the process of installing the update. It's appearing on startup because starting Firefox is what triggers installing updates. There's no way to change or disable any of that behavior. But we are working on a project called the background update agent (bug 1343669) which will apply updates in the background when Firefox isn't running, so when that's done it should take care of this problem.
The web page you're talking about can be disabled using the OverridePostUpdatePage policy.

It's definitively not a bug, marked as an enhancement request.
And OK, "notification" was a bad denomination for this informative progression dialog.
This can be closed as duplicate of "Background update agent (bug 1343669) " that seems to responds to the need.
