I'm sorry you are getting downvoted. You are absolutely correct. I've gotten in many discussions about this exact same thing on HN. I at one point I had an exchange with someone about terrible bad Pale Moon was because it let users do things like override HSTS settings, and otherwise undo decisions that Mozilla had made.[1] I actually have highly specialized profiles that make heavy use of XUL addons that I have developed over the years for very specific things, and I hate how careful I have to be that an update won't come and delete them. It would be one line of code to make a backup of a profile before "upgrading" it...

And you're not alone and you're not crazy for seeing it.
