I'm using Firefox 78.0.2 on Windows 10 Pro build 19041.388 Bootcamped on a MacBook Pro. Every time there is a Firefox upgrade available, it downloads but then gives an error message "Update Failed", requiring a manual download and install. What can I do to automate the update installs? Thank you.

Some protection programs don't like the update/install stubs. Go here for the full installer.

I know I can use the full installer but don't want to have to do that every time there is an update. I want to fix whatever is keeping it from updating. Please guide me to steps to resolve this issue. Thank you.

Getting the full installer may fix the problem.
