    [_] Remember my browsing and download history
    [_] Remember search and form history
    [X] Accept cookies from sites
         Accept third-party cookies:  [Always]

When exiting Firefox and relaunching it, this settings is gone. and 'reset to [Remember history]

Any suggestions as to how to solve this?

Hello,

Try reset or create a new profile:

Sorry, to reset firefox will require me to install a number of plug-ins. All my settings were lost. Luckely I created a backup using MozBackup.exe. Some add-ons can easily be re-installed, but what about stuff like Acrobat PDF creator and Norton Vulnerability Protection. I think those add-ons are installed when an application is installed, so it would require me to re-install such applicatons.

Preferences not saved: nothing is write protected.

Deep sigh... =

Did you check if you have a user.js file or try rename or delete the prefs.js file?

Do you have the installer? Dont they have the repair option?
