Why does Firefox 13 cancel my personalized options settings about once a month?

Since upgrading to Firefox 13, about once a month or every three weeks or so, when I open, instead of my homepage, I find the Mozilla page (not the upgrade page tho) and all my personalized settings in options have been reset to the default settings. I reset to personalize but it happens again after a few weeks. Why and what can I do to keep my settings always.

In troubleshooting they talk only about it happening everytime Firefox is opened. Not my case.

Thank you.

If you already tried How to fix preferences that won't save
