How do I fix the error, "Firefox is being updated by another instance"?
When I open Firefox, the profile I open with will open perfectly normally to version 153.0.4 and says it is up to date. However, if I open a different profile, that one will say it "Firefox is being updated by another instance". I can quit the app and change which profile I open first, and that profile will be 'up to date', and the other one will be 'being updated'.
I already went through quitting all pending tasks in task manager and restarting my device, as well as deleting and redownloading the app. This is really slowing down my processing speed while I work! Please help. I really don't want to lose my profiles.

This sound about right. What is the actual question / issue with this setup?
Or is it just the wording that sounds confusing? (Yes, the "main" profile does the updating, so that one knows the state — the others only know some other profile does that for them.)
The secondary profile never fully updates, and the one acting as main switches. Because they are never both 'up to date', my browser is laggy.
They can in theory get out of sync during an update while they're running — and that's causing some headaches — however once all are restarted, they are up to date.
If you want to be sure, you can just download the full installer from firefox.com and run it over your setup while Firefox is closed — that will guarantee everything will get replaced and updated cleanly without anything running in parallel.
