Firefox version 50.1.0 keeps asking to Restart to apply software update: 50.0
Whenever Firefox starts, a prompt is shown asking to Restart to apply an "update" to a previous version.
I have tried clicking "Restart Firefox" and all it does is restart and I get the same prompt again. Clicking "Restart Later" only delays the inevitable. I have also tried reinstalling with the latest version of Firefox, and the problem still persists.
Any help towards the matter would be fantastic. Thanks.

Let’s do a full clean re-install; Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link} Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder.

Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory.
Do Not remove the profiles folder.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox program folders by adding .old to them. Do not rename the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.
If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.
