Settings enabling themselves on update
Every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling settings on its own.
Specifically 2 settings on the general tab keep enabling themselves in the "browsing" section, "Recommend extensions as you browse" and "Recommend features as you browse"
I have disabled these settings dozens of times now, and every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling these 2 settings on its own.
Just now I updated to v128.0 and these 2 settings turned themselves on again.
Why is Firefox not respecting my settings? Why is Firefox allowed to modify my settings without my permission?
I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox already. I don't use profiles and am not signed into the browser, so no settings are getting carried over that way.

This is on windows PC since I forgot to specify. Has been happening for at least the past couple dozen updates or so. Maybe longer.
This is also not an issue with write protections or anything like that.
The settings stay disabled until the next update then they revert to enabled.

This appears to be a bug where the background task that registers the default agent to use the default profile instead of a temporary profile, which effectively resets several pref to their default values what causes them not get get written to prefs.js. This should be fixed in Firefox 130, scheduled for release September 3.
