Well since on a Mac I can see your problems are magnifies.

If you do this :

then you will always have your settings. Provided Firefox does not find your Profile corrupted and moves it to the Desktop in a Folder called OldFirefoxProfile.

As to never update : that means that when there is security fixes and or mac fixes you will never get them. It also means that you will get no support from here as you would be refusing the instructions that are being given.

Since you have not described or asked for any help on a issue. Regards.
