Safe Search won't stay off.
I know how to turn safe search off (go to settings and un-tick the box, then click save) But the problem is that when I do this, it turns safe search back on again. I've done this a couple of times and safe search won't turn off. I've browsed for solutions but I cannot find one.

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.

I do not have Advanced System Care, and I have refreshed Firefox. Safe search still won't stay off.
Is this a check box on a web page or something in the Firefox user interface?

If is is on a web page then such a detail is likely stored in a cookie.
You can use these steps to make a website remember such a choice:
- Create a cookie 'allow' exception to keep such cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
- Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
- Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
- Clearing Cookies will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you want to keep.
It's just a standard search.
This is a Google setting and not a Firefox setting. Turn SafeSearch on or off - Search Help:
