I don't know if bit replied to you,

checked the links you provided and my prefs.js file is not read-only and it appears to be saving my settings, based on file date. I did notice the user.js file may have issues. Each line appears to be duplicated. Here is a partial copy nof that file:

user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-background-update-timer", 1326852493); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-background-update-timer", 1327038601); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer", 1326852733); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer", 1327038841); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.blocklist-background-update-timer", 1326852613); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.blocklist-background-update-timer", 1327038721); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.search-engine-update-timer", 1326858453); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.search-engine-update-timer", 1327038481); user_pref("browser.anchor_color", "#0000FF"); user_pref("browser.anchor_color", "#0000FF"); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 1048576); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 1048576); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled", false); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled", false); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run", false); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run", false); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size_cached_value", 1048576); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size_cached_value", 1048576);

What do you think?

Or could I edit prefs.js with about:config?

I deleted the contents after the header and this fixed my issue.
