Recently, my computer blue-screened and performed a memory dump. Since then, all of my customisation options seem to have been lost - for example:

  • What firefox does when I open a new window
  • All of my extension options (the home page of every extension opens and asks me to agree to various addon terms and conditions
  • My persona reverts to the default
  • My menu bar customisations are lost.

Every time I close and re-open Firefox, the same thing happens again. All of the customisation data seems to be temporary.
