Firefox has a dangerous (IMO) default setting for clearing history (cookies) - "last hour" instead of "everything." When a person is in a routine - clicking History -> Clear Recent History -> okay, it's very easy to miss that Firefox reset your settings to "last hour" when you upgraded. That setting change is not at all obvious.
Is there a way to make Firefox preferences persistent when you upgrade?
Firefox 82.0.2; Windows 10 (current)
