Mac client proxy settings disabled after update

Hi!

I'm currently using Firefox on Mac Big Sur and I have set up a manual proxy config which is working pretty well.

However, the past 2 times Firefox had prompted me for an update, after I apply the update, my proxy settings automatically change to "Use system proxy settings" and ALL of the proxy-related options on the "Connection Settings" screen get disabled/greyed out, so I cannot choose back my custom proxy settings until I uninstall and reinstall Firefox.

It is quite annoying having to manually uninstall and reinstall Firefox after an update, I'm kinda reluctant about updating Firefox again because I don't want to get this issue anymore, but I don't think that's a good idea since I'd like to keep up with the latest updates as well. So I was wondering if this is something that could get addressed?

The latest version I've updated to is 89.0.2 (64-bit).
