I wonder if you'll have to remember to do this after each update, like you have to do for most of Chrome's unwanted and unwelcomed features.

Probably not. These settings have been around for a long time already anyway, and they never get overwritten once set, at least in my experience.

When you haven't used Firefox for a while it shows a prompt that tricks you into resetting your profile.

They already did this way back with their other telemetry stuff. You had to disable it through about:config and then Mozilla introduced new flags/renamed them and even added a flag if you have disabled telemetry that you had to disable again manually.

It might be possible to disable this feature through a policy file [1] just like other features can be disabled, e.g. here's how to disable auto-update:

   {
   "policies": 
      {
        "DisableAppUpdate": true
       }
   }

Create a text file named policies.json in a directory named distribution inside the Firefox installation directory. In my case that ends up looking like this:

   /opt/APPfirefox (package root)
   /opt/APPfirefox/firefox (currrent nightly)
   /opt/APPfirefox/bin/firefox-127.0a1 -> /opt/APPfirefox/firefox/firefox-127.0a1
   /opt/APPfirefox/distribution/policies.json

The browser sees this file and abides by its contents. Open about:policies#documentation in Firefox to see which policies can be configured this way.

Apparently not, at least for this update.

I had the settings disabled, then updated to the latest version ("126.0 (64-bit)") and settings were kept disabled.

So at least for now it looks like it respects your current settings.

Only time will tell, but I don't think I've ever had that issue with Firefox so far.
