I've had the same persona for a while now, so today I tried to change it and got a few new themes. It let me add them, but when I exited out and immediately opened FireFox again, it was back to the old one! No matter what I do, it just keeps switching back. I can go into tools and manually change it, but it doesn't stay after I reopen FireFox. It gets really annoying, please help!

McAfee Site Advisor which you appear to have installed is the most likely culprit. See this post: http://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/753639 (Patch at the foot of the thread).

Some of your plugins are also out of date and expose your system to attack. I recommend you visit the Plugins Check page and update where necessary.
