Firefox is acting as it comes to install every morning when I wake up. He loses the privacy settings, home page and shows the start-up firfox and firefox home.
He also loses the addons, like personas. I tried to reset firefox and deleting the prefs.js. There is none of the other files mentioned in the article on how fix firefox does not save the settings. Every day that it starts with the Welcome to Firefox and Mozilla Firefox Start Page my homepage EVEN instead after I created my homepage and he remembers.
Once I saved the settings they are stored for the rest of the day, but when I wake up in the next day, POOF!, firefox forget what I did. I remember stuff like my bookmarks, history and tabs pinned, but he doesn't remember my privacy settings for him is not to suggest stuff on the address of my history and bookmarks toolbar.
As of the time of this message, I did not my settings for troubleshooting information are the status of firefox is in when I open it first from a morning. What the hell is happening?
What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that can cause problems to protect and restore files in the Firefox profile folder.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

You should change your homepage.
See - How to set the home pageIt - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Page to start Firefox used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. I think that Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox, as they hard-coded message 'upgrade' in this page - all versions of Firefox see this message.
From version Firefox 4, Firefox uses a 'local' with the address Start Page of Subject: House. It looks like the old start Page, but this isn't exactly the same thing.

New wifi router installed. Because then I can usually connect sites OK but when getting around a site or to another, I lose connection even though Windows said signal is excellent. Toggle heals the problem temporarily. Two tablets under the same roof using wifi even have no problem. There is no consistency in when the problem arises in any session. It happens in Firefox and Thunderbird. Close and restart the program does not help.
I tried the reset and it was not good. Then I learned that my wife had a similar problem with his ipad I did what I should have done at the beginning, I restarted the router again. Hey presto, problem solved.
Now, I'm off to eat some humble pie. Thank you, guigs2

Bookmarks keep get rearranged every morning when I open Firefox in the morning
For the daily last week when I opened my browser either on my PC or laptop all my favorites are blurred (is no longer in alphabetical or) as when I closed it in the evening. This just started to happen this week and I've been using Firefox for more than eight years without problem. In some cases like today all of a folder of bookmarks disappeared. I have not modified or added new applications to the PC or laptop settings.

Hi Drewski, when you right click on a folder instead, there should be an option to sort the bookmarks contained by name

I installed the new version 13, called Aurora. I currently have, but if I start to dislike the new features (until now I do! But I have to ask) can I 'come back' to the 'good old' Firefox 11?
Will I be losing my data and settings? History and bookmarks?My computer is a Pentium M 1, 6 GHz (2004) and version 11 seemed very stable. I installed Aurora is because I wanted to try your new software.
Yes, you can uninstall the aurora and install the latest stable version whenever you want without losing the personal data because your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
Thank you

How can I stop Firefox to install a shortcut on my desktop whenever I restart the computer?
Even if I move it to the trash, it continues to display on my desktop after each reboot. It's like a zombie who won't die.
I think I solved it. I went to My Documents and Settings folder > folder all users > folder Start Menu > programs. There was a shortcut in there. I took it and it didn't come back. Thank you all.
