So my account is synced and everything, but if I quit my Mozilla browser on my Mac everything gets deleted. Passwords, bookmarks, everything. It's so frustrating that I may go back to Safari because this is ridiculous.

Make sure you install Firefox properly and that you do not run Firefox from within the DMG (Disk Image) file.

Open the Firefox Disk Image file and drag the Firefox application to the Applications folder on your hard drive. You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the Disk Image, but instead drag it out of the DMG folder.
