I do not want to use Privacy>History Bookmarks Open Tabs. I uncheck. When Firefox reboots, the checks in the boxes return. How do I keep them unchecked?

I do not want to use the bookmark, history, open tab feature under Privacy Options. I uncheck the boxes. When Firefox reboots, the boxes return as checked. How do I keep these options from being selected? Thanks.

Is that the only setting that gets changed back?

Note that this is about the browser.urlbar.suggest.openpage pref.

  • browser.urlbar.suggest.history
  • browser.urlbar.suggest.history.onlyTyped
  • browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark
  • browser.urlbar.suggest.openpage
