Repeatedely get window to install helper to update FF, but when FF opens, selecting "About FF" it asks to restart to update to latest?
Each time Firefox is opened, it asks to install a helper to update to latest version. I allow this and Firefox opens. All seems to work fine. If I close Firefox and open again the same day, or even the next day, it again asks to install helper to update. This will do this the next 5 or 6 times Firefox is opened. If I select to open "About Firefox", a window opens asking "Restart to update to latest version" ? I went to "Update History" and it shows update failed, or update pending. If I check for health report, it shows that I am on version 57.0.2. Why doe this repeatedly ask to update, and what is the latest version for IMac?

57.0.4 Something is corrupted. uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.4 with a Full Version Installer
