This only happens with certain sites, and I have only had a problem for a few weeks, that I think coincides with updating mozilla.  It happens on MSNBC, where I have disabled flyouts, however, each time I return, they are no longer disabled.  It is annoying having to reset it every time I visit.  This was never a problem before.  On CNN, I had my page preference set to International, but have to reset it also each time I visit, from the U.S. page back to the International.  Finally, my hotmail address and password have to be re-entered each time I open hotmail, even though I set it to save email and password.  I am the sole user of this computer and it's frustrating having to reset everything all the time.  If this problem is already on here, sorry, but I didnt find anything that referred to this type of thing.  Note, on other sites requiring my login name/password, while I'm no longer signed in automatically, it still has my info saved.  The hotmail requires me to retype everything.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. restart computer
2. run scans
3. 

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Well, I want my set prefences not to be changed each time I open a site.
