New laptop running Windows 8.1. Firefox is fine all the time I don't turn off or restart. Everything else seems OK.

There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
