Environment variables are only for the current session.

If you want it always, put it in your .profile or other shell login
configuration file.

Or simply make a "galeon" wrapper script that does that for you before it
runs the real galeon.

Such as:

#!/bin/sh
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/bin/mozilla-1.7.3
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
exec /path/to/real/galeon "$@"

Place the above in your ~/bin/galeon and put ~/bin at beginning of your
path.
