Every update firefox crashes and forgets EVERYTHING

Firefox Update failure

Multiple ways of installing on linux, same outcome.

Every major update, like today, it SEEMS to do "installing updates" on a restart of the app. Sometimes, it then crashes my whole OS. Sometimes, it's just the next time i restart the OS, the browser ACTUALLY updates, and EVERYTHING is gone. It loads to a brand new firefox. I have tried creating a new profile, but this behavior persists.

Every week or two, I have to re-log into every service. Every time, I have to make damn sure I've got backup on, because apparently, whether the backup setting is ON or OFF is not at all a part of a backed up profile!

How can I get a persistent firefox experience? I just want to get back to the good ol' days.
