Will updating Firefox mess up with my Firefox Profiles?

My current Mozilla Firefox version is 70.0.1

I use Firefox Profiles function and have many different profiles created. It is very important to me that these profiles do not get mixed between each other and that cookies and other profile-related data would remain unique for that profile.

Is there a chance that if I update the browser to the current version cookies and other elements will get mixed among the profiles and those profiles will not be unique anymore?

When I go to Help>About Firefox I get the following:

"Updates are disabled by your system administrator"

So I guess if I decide to update the browser I will need to figure out how to do that first. :)

Thank you for your answers!
