I am not that familiar with Mac OS but I do know some on older systems are moving to the Extended Release version https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/

Uninstall FF after saving bookmarks/passwords/profile and delete all left overs in C:\ in all FOLDER NAMES Clean your computer cache/temp files and then try install with the full installer https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
