Please be patient with me, i don't have much knowledge of the OI internals.

But i would think of shipping a simple file like 
/etc/system.d/firefox_userlimit  with the firefox package,
as users without ff78 won't need this global setting.

(i have

$ ls -l /etc/system.d/sata_auto_online
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         318 Jul  8  2020 
/etc/system.d/sata_auto_online
which is a plain file, too )

Just my 2c
