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.

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.
