I'm not sure why, but your Firefox reported itself to be version 73 -- the current releases are:

  • regular release: Firefox 90
  • extended support release: Firefox 78esr

Some users report that either their desktop icon or dock icon runs a temporary instance of Firefox rather than the one in the Apps folder. Could you double-check the steps in this article and see whether you can get a permanent installation:
