Why do my appearance add-ons disappear and my custom home page revert to default whenever I close Firefox?
These items work fine and stay functional when I keep the browser open, but as soon as I close it, then open it later, the appearance add-ons disappear from my add-ons list and my home page reverts to the default.

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
