Firefox Beta is what Firefox release will be in 6 weeks (roughly). We land new features in Beta before they land in release for additional testing and stabilization. It will be less stable than Release, so if you want stability you should use Firefox release. If you want to see new features faster, use Beta.

BTW, you should update to windows 8.1, Windows 8 isn't supported anymore and 8.1 has additional performance and security improvements, plus a free update to Windows 10 in about a year
