Preferences are not saving. Each time I start Fire Fox it acts as if it is my first time starting the program.
Each time I open Fire Fox, it acts as if it is the first time I'm opening the program. The 'Welcome to Fire Fox' first-run page always shows up when I open the program.
None of my preferences, like the custom themes, save - however my bookmarks, which I chose to have transferred over from my previous Fire Fox, seem to be saving.
I have version 5.01
Also, I tried all of the steps from this help page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved?s=settings+don%27t+save+after+firefox+is+closed&as=s
However, I am unable to delete or make changes (such as renaming) the Prefs file because it keeps telling me that the file is open. However, when ever I go to my task manager there is nothing under the name or description of Fire Fox running. So I can't figure out how to close this file that is supposedly still open.

Which security software (firewall, Anti-virus software) do you have?
Make sure that it isn't locking the .js file(s) in the Firefox Profile Folder
