Settings reset every few days
Firefox will revert a number of settings to their default values every few days. When this happens, the "Firefox stats and data" message will appear in the Android notification area. This is with a clean install; no extensions, no plugins, no about:config changes that are not exposed in the settings menu.

Hello Jens_Lyn_IV, Did you check if you have a task killer app that is killing Firefox? maybe like clean master or DU Speed booster?
Please check if any of your task killers are killing Firefox, this might be a possible reason why your Firefox's settings are resetting.
If this answer helped you solve your problem, please take a moment to appreciate it. Thank you!
Thanks for the response.
I only have 3 apps installed: Firefox, a simple GPS data display, and a remote control app for my camera. The latter two see very little use and have not been opened for months. The only apps running are default Android stuff.
Phone is an LG H410.

Hello, Try using sync by logging in to your Firefox Account, this may keep your stuff right where you left them.!
If you do not have a mozilla firefox account,here is where you can create one.

Hello, Try re-installing Firefox Android as it may a problem with a registry clean-up, also check if you do not have any task or registry cleaner application that is clean all the Firefox information. Thank You :-)

1. This IS a clean install. I posted this question shortly after reinstalling Firefox.
2. Android has no registry.
3. I already listed my non-default apps.
I appreciate your trying to help, and it's okay if you have no other suggestions, but please say so rather than posting irrelevant Windows-specific information in the Android forum.
Hello, By registry, what i meant was "Storage". I am really sorry for the inconvenience, Are you still facing the problem? If so, we will try to find a solution for you by forwarding it. Thank you for bearing with us. :-)
Yes, the problem persists.
How's the forwarding coming along?
If you're not going to follow up on this, please tell me so I can stop monitoring the thread for replies.
Update: My settings have managed to stick for quite a while now. I haven't paid attention to whether it coincided with an update, but consider this a preliminary "works for me."
