I just installed Firefox and every time i close or i restart it the extension adblock plus reset its settings and remove all the filter lists. I tried to install and uninstall the extension but it didn't help.

I found out that also on Android I have the same issue. Both are fresh installations.

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Thank you for your response, but I don't have such programs. I think I found the problem, but I don't know how to solve it. It seems related to Firefox Sync, in fact as soon as I disabled it, everything worked fine. I tried to change account and to reset Firefox but nothing. To solve i just installed uBlock origin.
