Your suggestion of prefixing the build ID with a number (i.e. 1build3) doesn't seem necessary if we ensure that this change becomes effective only in a new version of firefox, because the build ID won't matter in the version comparison, e.g. from 68.0_20190701120911/20190701120911 to 68.0.1_build1/build1.

Ah yes, you are right. As long as for a single "version" you use the same build id style you should be fine.
