Was "accidently" upgraded to beta version 133.0. How do I get back to stable version? And why did this happen?

I am supposed to be on the esr release program, but today I was automatically updated to beta release 133.0. This is the second time this happened. Thunderbird shows a red screen, and recommends I install the last stable release, 128.5.0esr, which is what I want to do. But the last time, when I tried to go back to a stable release, it then wouldn't let me do that because it says the profile may no longer be compatible. I solved it painfully using timemachine backups of older profiles.

What is the simplest, safest way to downgrade, now that I am in this situation? And why is this happening?

Thanks for your help!

I have made some progress since I posted. I did successfully "downgrade" and I'm now running 128.5.0esr. However, I still would like to solve why a beta version was installed on my computer. This is the second time this happened - the first was on Oct 22nd. When I was on the beta version (133.0), the history showed no history. Now that I am on an esr version, the history, as shown in the image below, just shows the esr updates. It doesn't show the mysterious beta updates that happened on 10/22 and 11/27. I somehow seem to be on two update channels, both the esr and the beta. Do you know how I can get off of the beta permanently?

Thanks.
