Will a candidate (105.1b) update to 105.2b, or will I have to install the official release of 105.2b?
I noticed a glitch with the way my mouse was working in FF, but on Nightly 105 it was fine, so I installed the candidate for 105.1b into my FDE installation folder. Now will this candidate update to the next version of beta automatically, or will I have to install 105.2b myself?

You can check the update channel in "Help -> About Firefox" and on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page.

I was posting the version numbers from memory. Sorry, it should be candidate (105.0b1) and 105.0b2

If the Firefox folder has read/write permissions for the user then by default, Firefox updates automatically as you should get internal Firefox updates whether on Windows, macOS, or Linux (tarball version from Mozilla).
A version on the Beta channel can get say 8-10+ builds. Developers Edition is the same as Beta but with additional developers features.
Don't know why I didn't look at that before. Yeah, I'm still on Aurora update channel. Well thanks for a polite answer instead of being rude, to a question I could have answered myself in 5 seconds if I thought about it for a second. :)
