How to opt out from Beta updates only?

I would like to receive Firefox updates automatically, but at some point I probably opted in to receive beta updates as well. So now I always get automatically updated to Firefox 6, while I want to stay at official 5.0.1.

Chosen solution

Download Firefox 5.0.1, un-install that 6.0 beta, and install 5.0.1.

In the past you installed a 4.0beta or a 5.0beta, and thus ended up on the Beta Channel as a "Beta tester".

Do not select the option to Remove all Firefox data and customizations when you un-install 6.0.

Thanks very much, it worked. I never realized I actually had two installs (Firefox 6 was in the 4 beta 8 folder).
