Thanks, Peter

It took a while before the technicians understand the problem. But within our organization, Firefox is automatically updated. As a result, the option "auto update" is disabled and we can not customize it. The technicians are now trying to exclude some computers that need an older Firefox version from these automatic updates.

So it's not a Firefox problem but an organizational decision.

Thank you all for providing some solutions.

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
