Yes it happens every time and now Yahoo toolbar update tab opens as well. I have tried all the suggestions above. I have love using Firefox over all other browsers but I may not be able to continue if it does not get fixed.

Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?

Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

Make sure that Firefox isn't running when you delete files in the profile folder.
