Application "Updated" notice when it isn't accurate

Seeing lots of apps, such as Firefox, showing notices here on Jamf Nation that they are "updated" when all that has been updated is a beta version. Ex - notice today that Firefox 63 was released. Following the actual links, 62.0.3 is the official release, 63 BETA came out today.

Please don't send out public notices until there is an actual official, production release. Most of us here are operating in business environments that would discourage pre-release software. It makes the announcements far less useful if we have to track things down to verify whether this is accurate or not.

Main Firefox release page doesn't list it, which means it isn't going on any of my systems.402e1aff6c544848b8826eb6915509e0

On main Firefox page, 62.0.3 is STILL current, NO update listed, only Beta 63. Regardless that the FTP link to 63.0 works after 9:40am.

9:15 pm, if you go to Firefox.com and click the download link, you get 62.0.3.

FWIW, 63.0 officially released today. So close, yes, but a bit early.

Like how someone updated FF DOWN to 62.0.3 instead of 63.0.3. Updated correctly now.
