Sometimes when Firefox starts up, it doesn't remember the windows and tabs from my previous session and asks me if I want to make Firefox my default browser

I have 3 specific (Yahoo Finance) tabs I like to have open whenever I start up Firefox. It seems that at least once a week, sometimes more often, when I start up Firefox, I get the two Firefox tabs that appear as if I'd just installed Firefox and a prompt asking me if I'd like to make Firefox my default browser. It's like Firefox did some sort of 'reset'.

These are the settings I have to reset each time this occurs:

  > "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
  > I have to reset my homepage
  > I have to re-open all three tabs (from my last session)
  > When I open a link in a new tab, open it immediately (recheck this flag)

If I remember correctly, this was occurring before I upgraded to this latest version of Firefox.
