Why does it ask to update so much, they are all betas can't it not just update a full version every few months?

Hi Steve,
Perhaps you need a release version of Firefox, not Beta. It updates once a month.
I downloaded a release version, ive had firefox for years, it just decided to start updating to betas 3-5 times a week..
Ok it wouldn't let me use my "old profile" as the beta was a newer version so had to make a new one, so now ive got a new old version of ff, completely blank without any bookmarks settings or anything......great :(
Guess a button in settings to stop updating all the time was too much trouble....
Like.... hey ive a small problem in windows...... fine just wipe the hard drive and reinstall it..
Found a restore point so reverted it back, so is there anyway of stopping it updating 3-5 time a week without loosing everything?
Guess i should have mentioned i didn't want to loose everything ....what a pos.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (69.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:
- https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
- https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/69.0.2/releasenotes/
Note that you probably need to create a new profile for the release version.

Note that Beta and Developer Edition update twice a week and Nightly update twice each day. See also:

If you see a b and a # on a end of a Firefox version file name when downloading it then it was a build on the Beta channel and not a Release channel version. A version on Release channel will not update to a build on another channel including Beta.
You appear to be using a Beta build of Firefox 70.0 say the current Fx 70.0b12
There can be say nine to twenty builds of a version on Beta channel in testing with say 12-14 being the norm.
Yeah i know, as i said i download the release version and it wiped everything so rolled back windows
I didn't download the beta, firefox just decided to update to it itself, and carry on from there..
as i also said "asked" is there a way to get the release version without wiping everything? ...... a simple toggle in the settings perhaps?
"do you want firefox to update every other day?" yes /no
instead of wiping everything and loosing years of data?
