Using Sync for first time, my options, privacy, history, use customs settings, list of exception cookies prohibited got erased. Why isn't there a SAVE button ? After setting up SYNC, my settings change every time i log off ..its like starting over again every time i log on.. How can I get my 5 year old list of hundreds of prohibited cookies back ? by the way, this list of prohibited cookies did not transfer to my other computer like I expected., they are my list of "prohibited bookmarks".

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
