Why won't NEVER REMEMBER HISTORY stay as the selected default? I set it, but it reverts back on its own to use current history. Why?

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.
