I have always had Firefox set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and set a home page for when I open Firefox. In the last day it will not save those settings. Now everytime I open Firefox it goes to Mozilla.org and the Firefox start page. I keep changing the settings in Tools\Options but each time I close the program it goes back to what it was.

Try to rename (or delete) the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can also check for problems with preferences.

Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
