hello goingrusset2, please go through the steps mentioned in: How to fix preferences that won't save - those are the most common solutions for the problem you've described.
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.
