Problem updating

I am on a work domain. I still have admin credentials but they are restricted to only some installs and no writing to USB devices. The Firefox updates don't work. I have to manually download from about:preferences General page then run the install file after it downloads. The update page says it will migrate all my settings over but it does not. Now I have the old Firefox which has been updated and the new Firefox that is also the new version. Why are there 2 versions and why did the new install not migrate all my setting and bookmarks, etc. into just one installed version ??? Should I just uninstall all Firefox's and install thru the Windows Store? Will that allow updates with my restricted admin profile?
