Endless manual updating. Each time is successful and then when you open FF again it needs to update again.

Ok so a month ago FF updated on four W11 laptops and now every time since then when you open FF it wants to make changes to your HDD and then tells you it can't download the latest version. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and its the same across all devices. None of the three devices are running any of the same software aside from the OS as they're all dedicated to different purposes, so I know its not something on the devices themselves. We ended up uninstalling it on everything aside from the older W10 desktop because its a constant nuisance. Each time it updates it is successful and there's no failure messages, so it's not like its obviously failing to update, but something certainly broke.

I know this is not the solution, but more like masking the symptoms — but in case you use Microsoft Store, you can get Firefox installed from there and updated by it if that makes the permissions/access issues go away that way. It has some other specifics though:
