I thought you'd had a response, but I can't see them now.
I just wanted to relate my experience. I'm running Buster by way of
Linux Mint Debian Edition: with backports enabled by default. I think
sometimes that backports is the default/preferred, but I'm not sure
where to check.
I have had many instances of tbird loosing track of it's profile, to the
point where I now specify the profile in the start menu. The tbird
version installed is 78.3.1. Perhaps an update/upgrade will get you to
that version?
Alternatively, download the latest version from mozilla. I tend to try
alpha/beta versions of non-system stuff. My tbird is 82.0b2, and another
update pending I see. The downside to this is I do have to manually
update outside of apt. I run a small collection of software from a
separate partition on a multi-boot system. That way, I don't have to
install these into my several systems. I have consistent programs
running quickly while I'm playing around - even in VMs
