Can't change from Beta to normal release of Firefox - Mac OSX 10.13.3
Hi,
I can't seem to get my mac to stay on normal release mode. I've tried downloading a fresh copy of the normal release of Firefox 59.0.1 and installing it over the beta build, 60.0b3. It works fine, and shows that I'm running 59.0.1, but later, I get prompted to install the beta version.
I'm on MacOS 10.13.3
Thanks, Marc

Let’s do a full clean re-install;
Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
Do Not remove the profiles folder.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

Okay - I tried it again, and this time turned off my wifi before I installed the stable version, and immediately went to help:troubleshooting:refresh, and so far, it appears to be staying on the stable channel.
I'll update the status later on in the day.
Thanks all,
M
Good luck.
