It contains more than things related to configuration.

Anyway, in any case, a maintainer script must not modify user files
for whatever reason, even if they are purely config files.

The fact is that Firefox (the application, not the package) entirely
manages this profile (and this happens when the user runs Firefox, not
when some package is upgraded on the system). But that's completely
unrelated to Debian.
