Are you aware that Firefox updates are continuing to distroy my abiility to even use the app?
Updates have triggered on-boarding loops, Firefox has opened w/o it's title bar, menu bar only appeared intermittently, tabs and address bar were hidden, manual profile relaunches were required more than once, required customization panel to restore tittle bar, my data was almost lost. After much help from AI in fixing some of these problems, new updates caused them to reoccur again and again. I'm refusing updates at the moment. In over a decade of Firefox use I'd never experienced such grief. I know you are better than this, but I'm having to use Edge in the meantime. I was unfamiliar with this website before because I never had problems. You may have solved some of these problems, but I still have some recurring with each update. Thank you for your consideration.

This sounds like a reoccurring issue that might be related to your overall setup — as if things don't have the proper rights, access or locks during the updates. Could you try next time there's an update to apply to turn off your antivirus software for a bit, to see if the updater is actually able to finish without interventions?
Generally when folks have trouble with updates on Windows, I often just mention the possibility of this getting taken care of via the system services by getting their Firefox from Microsoft Store: Download Firefox on Windows from the Microsoft Store — it has its downsides (some are mentioned in the article), it's a little obnoxious with its profile location etc., but since the updates are managed by the system, they're usually more predictable in terms of compatibility with some security solutions.
