On the homepage comcast.net there is a notice of what the weather is at a designated zip code. The default is Philadelphia. I change the zip code and save it. The indication comes up properly. When I exit Firefox and start it up again the designation is back to the default Philadelphia. The proper city shows up on Windows Explorer but I prefer to use Firefox. Please advise.

-> The next time you use Clear Recent History feature, DON'T place Checkmarks on Cookies, Site Preferences

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar

-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History" -> REMOVE Checkmark from "Permanent Private Browsing mode" -> place CHECKMARKS on:

1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> click Exceptions... button and click "Remove All Sites" 

  4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under Keep Until select They Expire

-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES

-> When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"

-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox

-> If you use Privacy Cleanup softwares like CCleaner, DON'T SELECT FIREFOX in the list of Applications.

Check and tell if its working now.
