Why does Firefox keep asking for a new profile?

If you use a profile on a newer version of Firefox, it's locked to that version or higher. If you then try to update that profile with an older version of Firefox, it will not allow you to and will force you to make a new profile. The reason it does this is in case something changes about how your data is stored.
