I've installed Firefox 105.0.3 on a machine with a fresh installation of Windows. I've left the machine running overnight. The next morning, Firefox stops loading pages. When I check C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox, I can see that Firefox.exe has a file date of July, instead of October: all the files in this folder are now for version 102 instead of 105. This has happened several times in a row now. What could be causing this problem?

It turns out, there was an Intune policy forcing some employees onto that particular version of Firefox. This was done to force everyone to upgrade, but the policy didn't check for newer versions than 102. Policy has been deleted, and no more downgrades.
