Thanks for the report.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce it yet.
I tried it with firefox-esr 68.4.1esr-1 and firejail 0.9.62-2.

I started with a fresh firefox profile (by using the firejail option
--private=/foo/bar for a separate/isolated home directory) and then
changed all of the settings you mentioned.
Then I restarted firefox, and all my changes were still applied, as
expected.

Can you please give some more information how you are starting firefox
inside firejail. For example, are you using --private (without
argument)? In this case it would use only a temporary home directory,
so all changes would be lost after restart.
Can you maybe also retry it from a clean profile?

This is the command I used for testing:
$ firejail --private=/tmp/ff-home firefox-esr -no-remote

Kind regards,
  Reiner
