I am running Firefox version 155.0.1 under Windows 10. I am receiving Extended Security Updates. When I update Firefox with the automatic updater it replaces the old version with the new one and everything runs fine but the automatic updater fails to clear the leftover registry key from the previous installation. This leaves me with two versions of Firefox listed on the Apps & features page. In order to avoid having this extra entry I have been uninstalling Firefox and then running the installation program to update to the next version. Uninstall removes both entries, but if try using the automatic updater again, once again it fails to clear the leftover registry key from the previous installation. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue. With the frequency of updates being released, I would like to update with the automatic updater without having to remove the ghost registry key each time or resorting to uninstalling the previous version before running the install program.
