After installed FF 4 it would not talk to the internet because 'my proxy server refused'. I can fix this by going to options/advanced/setting ... but the fix only lasts for the current session of FF. If exit and restart FF, I get the proxy problem again ... the fix has to be repeated. Similarly, the install reset my home page. I can easily fix this, but exiting and restarting FF resets the homepage again. How do I make these fixes 'sticky'?

Sounds like this issue:

I read the 'Preferences Not Saved' article but wasn't able to find the prefs files. I either wasn't in the correct folder, or the file doesn't exist (would that explain the problem?).

Thanks for the pointer ... unfortunately, it didn't help solve the problem.

I have since uninstalled FF completely, and did a clean install. The results are the same: FF4 will not remember my proxy settings. Every time I start FF I have to tell it to use the system proxy data, then everything works fine. But it refuses to remember from one session to the next.

Any other suggestions??? Is FF3.6 still available???
