If one has any problem with a newer firefox version (broken internal

For individual users ok, but in an corporate environment
troubleshooting hundred or even more broken firefox-Profiles for

According to
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dedicated-profiles-firefox-installation#w_what-happens-to-my-profile-if-i-downgrade-to-a-previous-version-of-firefox
downgrade protection can be disabled per-launch with the
"--allow-downgrade" option.
If you have a means of appending that to the launch shortcut for Firefox
(which is easy with e.g. ZENworks, but which I understand to be far
harder with e.g. SCCM), that could give you a way to avoid the issue on
downgrades even without changes to the release.
yep, I know,
firefox.exe --allow-downgrade
should work, one can put it somehow in all desktop links, in all windows
standardbrowser stuff and whatever is running,
one can also use
environment variable
MOZ_ALLOW_DOWNGRADE = 1
and so on.
It would come with all the downsides which downgrade protection is
intended to avoid, of course, but that's a tradeoff you'd be choosing to
make.
I understand, that working with Stone Age-profiles/prefs.js can lead to
troubles and cumbersome erros.
But nevertheless, I would prefer for ESR-Builds regarding profiles the
opposite behaviour as for the "standard"-firefox.
