Firefox : Settings are not saved
I was having an issue recently that none of my settings/preferences were saved in Firefox. It opens the Firefox updated page along with extensions updated page every time I open the browser. The manual override of about:blank is also not reflecting.
Solution is just delete your pref.js from your profile folder or make sure that it is not read only. Interestingly my pref.js was read only I just deleted it, I believe making it writable will also fix the issue.
Profile folder location(s)
- Windows NT (NT4.x/2000/XP/Vista/7):
"%APPDATA%\\Mozilla\\"
- Unix/Linux :
~/.mozilla/
- Mac OS X:
~/Library/Mozilla/ or ~/Library/Application Support/
