Every time I restart Firefox, the Block Pop Ups is unchecked. The Site Preferences in Clear Recent History is not checked, although Clear Recent History is set to Last Hour. Thank you!.

Every time I restart Firefox, the Block Pop Ups is unchecked. The Site Preferences in Clear Recent History is not checked, and Clear Recent History is set to Last Hour. I am running an anti-virus, anti-spyware software and I ran an ad checker which removed various components, but the Block Pop Ups in Firefox still won't stay checked when I restart the program. I also reinstalled Firefox, but I did not have it reset my settings (i.e., bookmarks, passwords, etc.). I have been using the Google Toolbar in Firefox.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I'm afraid that didn't work, although Site Preferences box in Clear Recent History does remain checked on restarting Firefox. I also tried rebooting the computer.
