You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete a possible user.js file 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.

So, if you do not have the user.js file then you can rename or delete the prefs.js file (pref.js.sav) to see if that helps.
Windows likely hides the .js and shows them as User and Prefs.

You can also try to delete the compatibility.ini file to force Firefox to reinitialize some other files.
