MozillaUpdate does not clean up BitsTransfer

Mozilla Update appears to have a bug. I have several Windows 10 or 11 PCs with Firefox, and nearly all have the same problem. My event log is loaded with Event ID 16398, saying "A new BITS job could not be created." When I run the Get-BitTransfer command, I see the queue is filled with MozillaUpdate transfers. I have to execute "Get-BitsTransfer | Remove-BitsTransfer" to clear them out.

I can't find anything on the web to stop this, or even acknowledge it is happening to others.
