The title is pretty much self explanatory. Whenever I reboot my computer (Ubuntu 16.04), firefox loses ALL of its data. Any persistent cookies are removed, any customizations I make to the title bar are removed, my extensions are gone, and I have to sign into sync again. It's like a completely fresh installation.

Thanks for your help!

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.

Sorry, I saw the email and clicked the green button at the bottom without realizing that it said "mark as solution." I don't have anything of the sort installed, and I'm pretty sure they don't even release Linux versions. I've already gone through all the troubleshooting pages that could possibly pertain to this issue, with no luck.
