why will Firefox not keep my settings? I must reset all of my settings every time that I log in.

Every time I log out, shut down & restart. It returns Firefox to the default settings that occur after a new install. It keeps the settings if I exit & restart Firefox without shutting down but if I shut down, it forgets everything.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

ZoneAlarm. It's never caused issues before.

Do you have a solution..... Please !

Mine works well for a week or so then goes off where the links come up as raw data. I reset Firefox and everything works fine.
