Firefox can't apply update!
Since 117(Beta)I have an issue with Firefox refusing to apply the update it downloaded. I've tried searching left and right on the internet for a solution and one does work which is installing the newer version of the browser each time myself. But this is ofcourse not a solution in the long run.
It tries now to apply the update 118b9 to stable version 118 and it did downloaded just fine and asked me if I wanted to close the program to let it update which always worked. I've tried different DNS to see if that could be the problem, tried a clean default profile to see if that helped, I haven't tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, due to me losing my passwords and what not.
I also tried to run the stable version to see if the issue was still there and it is still there, so me using the beta channel isn't the issue here.

You should try uninstalling, it won't delete your profile settings by default, you are given the option.
You should keep backups of anything important regardless.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and this did not solve the problem!
This problem still persists.
This issue is still going.
Visit about:policies in the address bar and see if there are active enterprise policies.
Uninstall Firefox again and this time delete the remaining traces of "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\" before reinstalling.
Disable any third-party anti-virus or security software while installing or updating Firefox.
Already tried that and that didn't solve anything, I hope not, but I might have to reinstall windows entirely.
