Not sure exactly what is going wrong. Obviously Firefox should save settings and changes and does for me and most user.

You have lots of extensions. As a troubleshooting step try firefox in safe-mode and with all plugins disabled. Does it then work ok ?

The Firefox Reset should solve the problem but read the article first you will loose open bookmarks and all add-ons. You may wish to bookmark open tabs and add-ons home pages.

Unless you wish to join in with a bit of troubleshooting we will not discover what the problem was.

It is however probably safe to say: "Any problem is more likely to relate to your own setup than to any general Firefox problem."

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
