Update to beta prompt
I'm having trouble posting here with that error message, and problems uploading images, so forgive me if you have not seen the latest updated post.

You are still on the beta update channel as you can see in the "Help -> About Firefox" screenshots.That's why I'm here. How do I get off the beta channel?

You can possibly check about:support for the path of the Firefox binary and profile folder..Update Channel: beta. The binary path is to my Firefox stable install, E:\My Documents\A_FIREFOX BROWSER\FIREFOX\firefox.exe. How can that be? Why am I'm listed on the beta channel when the system is pointing to using a stable install, listed as 128.03? about:support

Above you mention portable, are you using a portable Firefox version? To update, it's just a matter of extracting the executable and replacing the contents of the portable folder.Can we define portable? Does this only include only "official" version releases. Would we not be having this problem with an official release.
What differentiates the "portable"method, that I've been using as my method for years without an incident, up until recent recent Firefox releases? The only thing I do when there's an update is replace the contents of the install folder, the same folder that the profile manager is pointing to, with the contents of the extracted executable,
I just realized the existence of this folder in about:support "Update Folder: C:\ProgramData\Mozilla-1de4eec8-1241-4177-a864-e594e8d1fb38\updates\C47CD37E750B0BD0. I tried to delete it. It recreated itself, changed my settins to "Update Autoimatically" and wiped out my entire session.
The contents of it's update-config.json file are the following. Would changing these values to "false" do any good? Or perhaps altering the contents of updates.xml in the same folder
"{"__DEFAULTS__":{"app.update.auto":true,"app.update.background.enabled":true},"app.update.auto":false}"
I do have a "Profile" folder at C:\Users\mr\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. The two entries are from 2019. One is empty, ans these are the contents of the other

The profile in "AppData\Local" is used for temporary data like the disk cache as you can see by its content. Your personal data is stored in the primary location in "AppData\Roaming".
- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>
The channel-prefs.js file in the "defaults\pref" folder in the Firefox installation folder specifies the update channel. this file is normally not touched by an update, only installing the full version can change the update channel.
