I just downloaded firefox today and under the privacy tab I sat the history part to remember the download history and to accept cookies and third party cookies until thy expire and I sat the location bar to suggest bookmarks. I've found that every time I close the program then the setting go back to delete all cookies when firefox closes and that the location bar is to show nothing. I would like to have it so that my facebook account won't be loged out automatically, I have the exceptions set to allow them to stay and the exception is still there even after the settings reset. How do I stop the browser from resetting every time I close the browser I even keep seeing the pop up bar that asks if I wish to submit performance data.

See:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
