How can I stop Firefox back to standard settings, whenever I turn off my PC?
I have configured my favorite story of the icons, print, House etc. in the places that I like them, but whenever I turn off my PC the next day, they are in the standard set & I do once again, more than a little irritating because there has never been a problem before & past only began when I upgraded to 33.1
Such things seem to happen whenever there is a upgrade, it got to a point where after years of use of Firefox I am seriously looking for a new default browser.
Like to illustrate my point, when I restarted Firefox just after installing the add-on of troubleshooting all my custom icon settings are gone AGAIN.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See creating a profile:

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem
