Firefox v86.0 reverts back to previous version.
What is causing the browser to revert back to previous version? The previous version was 85.02. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled v86.0. Eventually, the browser reverts back to the previous version. When I tried to open the browser, the following message appears:
You've launched an older version of Firefox Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for the installation of Firefox.

I'm not having the issue on the Mac. We have Windows 10 Pro computers and they all have v85.02 installed. The v86.0 update installs then reverts back to v85.02.
Do you still have v85.0.2 on your system? Remove it.
