I cannot observe this issue in a 16.04 VM. I downgraded to
63.0.3+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1, removed all profile information, changed
my settings to Qwant as the default search engine and removed other
search engines such as Amazon and Bing. I then closed firefox, upgraded
to 64.0+build3-0ubuntu0.16.04.1, and my settings were kept (language
pack too, my default locale is fr).
Was firefox running when you installed the update? This is something I
didn't test.

Title:
16.04 : on each Firefox update, language pack and search engines don't
keep my preferences
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
today update manager brought a new version of Firefox, 64.
1. FR language pack is kind of lost in the process :
https://ibb.co/28bbG9t
« remove » that one and on next launch FF is in french again.
2. Google comes back as default search engine - instead of previously
Qwant
3. Amazon comes back in the list of search engines, although I had
previously removed it months ago
4. My prefered order of search engines get lost.
As far as I can remember I had the same « jokes » when updating FF from 62 to
63
