Do Firefox updates clear network.automatic entries?

After updating Firefox to version 17.0.7, my custom entries were removed from the network.automatic list. Is it possible the update did this or should I be looking at other possibilities. And if it was the update, can this be prevented for future updates?

Yes bryanpilger,

Firefox makes sure that you surf with utmost care of your security. Well you are pretty outdated we are heading forward with more speed and performance. Get the latest one from here: http://firefox.com/latest

Thanks for the reply.

Are you saying Yes as in the update caused my network.automatic list to be cleared or Yes as in this can be prevented? I am not concerned in having the most up-to-date version as my corporation only allows specific versions of the software to be installed due to our approval process.
