844108 - each morning, Mozilla forgets the options I've selected, such as home page

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[scottfbingham]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Build ID: 20130215130331

Steps to reproduce:

I have used Firefox for years now. In the past, it has always remembered my settings under >tools > options. For at least the last three days, it has somehow reset certain settings when I open it for the first time in the morning.


Actual results:

It resets home page to Mozilla; it resets "when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately; under the "bookmarks" menu, it adds "recently saved bookmarks" which I have deleted. Overall, it seems to be acting as if I'm a new user to Firefox each day.


Expected results:

Homepage should be Comcast. Firefox has always remembered all these settings in the past.

I'll close this in two weeks due to the lack of info from the reporter.
Feel free to reopen it and/or add any useful information in any moment.
