Not sure where you're getting that from; the current release is 125.0.3, and even the ESR release is 115.x! If you're still running v72 or v68, then you are putting yourself at risk, since there have been a lot of security vulnerabilities patched since then.

I've been using Firefox since a very early version, and have literally never seen that happen. Even the "refresh Firefox[^]" option would preserve your bookmarks, history, passwords, and cookies. If you're paranoid about losing your data, you can always backup your profile folder: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles | Firefox Help[^] But presumably you're already doing that?
