When I close Firefox, then restart, all the menu/personas options have reset and 6 tabs open up about "Welcome to Firefox." I have already uninstalled/reinstall

I close Firefox, then reopen and all my menu settings are back to default, as well as my homepage option. I have tried uninstalling already and that did not fix the issue. In the personas menu login, I DO have the "remember me" box checked but it keeps signing me out.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
