Tried to update Firefox with:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox
Now, I have two installs: version 59 in /snap/bin/firefox and version 60 in /usr/bin/firefox.
I'm worried using the autoremove command to remove version 59 will mess with version 60. What to do?
Also, what was the better way to do this? Should I have just removed Firefox and reinstalled the newest version?
apt firefox snap

It seems you have installed two versions of Firefox - one via apt-get install and the other from a snap package. You can verify that by running
snap list
The output should contain Firefox (snap version). You can launch it by
snap run firefox
Also
apt-cache policy firefox | grep Installed
should list the usual apt-version.
It's completely fine to have both them in your system, they will coexist without interacting with each other. autoremove will almost certainly won't remove any of them (except possibly for some other unrelated reason).
If you wish you can remove the snap version by running
snap remove firefox
