I had been using ESR, but for me Quantum seems more stable. Problem is that Firefox continues to update to ESR. I would like to stay with Quantum for now. How do I stop the ESR update?

A Firefox Release will not update to a ESR version on the separate ESR channel.

Perhaps you have both 52.6.0esr and 58.0 Release installed?

Thank you - two versions of ESR and one 58. Never thought it would keep the old version. I expect that will solve the problem.
