Firefox 24 - options not remembered from session to session

When I upgraded to Firefox 24, all of the option settings from v23 reset to the defaults. I put them back the way I had them before, but after restarting the browser, everything defaulted as before. I am running NoScript, and any changes to its rules are also lost when I restart the browser. I've restarted several times. with and without system restarts, and the results are always the same.
History and passwords seem to be updated and maintained across sessions. The problem is with configuration data for Firefox and NoScript.
I am running XP SP3 with 2 user accounts. One is an administrator account that I use only for system maintenance, and the other is a limited account where I do most of my work. The admin account, where I installed v24, remembers configuration changes between sessions; the problem is with the limited account, which is the one I care about.
I've checked the profile in use for the limited account, and the files have current update stamps in the \limited user\application data\mozilla folders, so it doesn't look like an authorization problem. This folder now contains 86 numbered prefs- files of which all but 3 have today's maintenance date, but the prefs.js file shows yesterday's date, before I upgraded versions.
There are also 25 numbered sessionstore- files, all of which have old dates, but the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files show as current.
Any suggestions?

After posting the question, I found this thread in the support forum - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save?esab=a&s=firefox+24+-+options+not+remembered&r=1&as=s#w_reset-firefox-to-fix-the-problem.
Following the instructions, it looks like the prefs file for the limited account was corrupted in the upgrade to Version 24. I have deleted it, and the problem is solved.

Message to Toad-Hall
Thank you, for that. To be sure, I tried your suggestion, and selected "System Proxy" as the choice, for Thunderbird and Firefox. Rebooted, and looked at the outcome.. NO Joy.. :-(
I believe that I shall send the output of the Error Log in my next post. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction after looking at the Error.log.
Thank you...Toad Hall. If you think of something else to try, I am ALL ears.. I shall keep trying..

Why is Firefox button not default for Windows XP?

I know that the Firefox button can be shown on Windows XP too by hiding the Menu Bar. But why is it not default? If Windows XP users do not know that Firefox button can be shown by hiding Menu Bar, they will not only not be able to access the Firefox button but will also not be able to enjoy tabs-on-titlebar. Describe Mozilla why it is not default???

One thing to keep in mind about Chrome is that Google started with a clean sheet of paper in ''(what?)'' 2008 when creating a new browser. Firefox has roots from Netscape in 1995, so some of the Gecko base code is pretty old. Plus, Google has a helluva lot more money to spend on developer ''(some of whom have been hired away from Mozilla)'' salaries, where many Mozilla developers are from the "community" and are unpaid volunteers.
I am running the nightly Minefield 4.0b13pre development version on WinXP and don't see tabs in the titlebar as with the Vista and Win7 version screenshots I have seen. With a "stock" Profile, when I hide the Menu bar and select the menu item for Tabs on Top, the only thing in the Titlebar is the Firefox button on the left side of the Titlebar. There are no Tabs in the Titlebar. ''Maybe there is something that I don't understand about the tabs-in-titlebar feature in 4.0??''
As it is with WinXP that is very unappealing to me, so I have a few Profiles that I am playing with that have different modifications that make better use of the Titlebar area. In one Profile I have all my addon Toolbar buttons in the Titlebar - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/personal-titlebar/ - which places anything that is on the Menu bar into the Titlebar when the Menu bar is hidden.
Overall, I haven't used the Menu bar since like 2004 - to me it was always a waste of one toolbar worth of browser viewing area "real estate". I have been using the Compact Menu extension, and the various CM replacement extensions over the years since, to reduce the Menu bar items down to one button on the Nav bar that provides a drop-down menu, which can be activated with the '''Alt''', as the Firefox button / Menu bar now works. ''It could be said that I have been using the Firefox menu button for 7 years now - LOL.''
No browser that I have seen, except for Chrome, doesn't have an option to show a complete Menu bar - removing it completely would be a huge mistake, the option to hide is good enough. Firefox 4.0, Opera 10 & 11, along with IE8 did it a lot better than Google, IMO.
Between Google forcing that damn "updater" program on their users and not having a Menu bar at all, it's gone from my XP desktop and I haven't used it in any months on my Linux netbook.

Firefox thinks Preview is default pdf reader when it's not

Four times, I highlighted a pdf file, got info, changed to Adobe as default, clicked "change all." PDFs that are already on my computer are opening in Adobe, but downloaded PDFs are opening in Preview. Next to "Preview" in the download window, it says "(default)". This is a dropdown menu, but there are no other choices. There doesn't seem to be an option in Firefox to change the default from there, so I assume it's something that has to be done through Leopard.
Any suggestions?

First, I notice you are running Tiger - this is the Leopard forum - things may be different with Leopard.
When I click on a .pdf file with FF, I get a popup window asking to select a reader.
Be sure you check the box, "Do this Automatically ....." in the popup window.
Once you do this, in the FF preferences under Programs, you will now find Adobe listed as the default program for opening Portable Document Format files.
I just did exactly this and it works correctly. PDF files now open with Adobe, not Preview, all the time.

Why when i use firefox 4 or 5 they didn't ask like firfox3 save and quit this option not include in 4 or 5 or 6

why when i use firefox 4 or 5 they didn't ask like firfox3 save and quit this option not include in 4 or 5 or 6

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
 
Another possibility is to use:

Firefox is suddenly not remembering or filling in any of my passwords. All of the appropriate boxes are checked in the options/security tab, but it won't remember any passwords and shows none saved. How do I get it to remember and fill in my passwords again?

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie that you must allow: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Cookies' and the 'Site Preferences'.
Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing

Search option not working after updating Firefox. How can I correct this? Don't want to use Explorer, but will have to if we can't fix this.

An automatic update ran this morning. Noticed when I started up the computer, a message came up saying that Firefox was running, even tho' it wasn't. Update finished, and now I cannot get the search tool to work. Help!!!

Is this the search bar on the about:home page/
Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the about:config page via the location bar
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
You can also check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Also check that you do not have a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder.

Firefox not default browser

In our school computers we use Firefox as a browser and Evolution for email. But both under Windowmaker (Me) and Gnome (The rest of the school) we can't get Firefox to be the default browser. Under WM Firefox continually pops up a window asking if Firefox should be the default browser but it doesn't stay that way. Furthermore, clicking on links from email does not bring up Firefox.

At the very least, I recommend you restart your router, (your internet box).
More detail on your problem is needed - are you in a submarine? On the moon? On a tropical island?
You can help yourself by providing as much info as you can about your present situation - what kind of router do you have? Have you moved it? DId you update it? Did you do anything to change your setup, and if you did, what?

I do not have Firefox safe option available

I have a problem with clicks on search results being redirected to various, annoying and irrelevant web pages. After looking at Firefox support ,I see that many other people have the same problem. The solution seems to entail using Firefox in safe mode.
Unfortunately, when I open firefox ,I do not get the option of safemode.
I have tried entering the address in the search box, but it still opens in normal mode.
I used to love firefox ,but now I am getting somewhat 'disillusioned'.
Can anyone help please.
I should point out that I am not a computer genius.

That is a misunderstanding of what the Firefox SafeMode does.
See this - http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode - for an explanation and how to enter SafeMode.
Search engine re-directs are usually caused by Malware, and in some cases a Rootkit infection.

Did you know Firefox 4 does not support full frame option in iPlayer or similar?

Both at home & work - using Mac OS 10.5 & 10.6 Firefox 4 will not allow me to view full frame video stream such as BBC iPlayer, 4OD, ITV Player, TVCatchup ....etc, etc.
I have now switched to using Safari & Chrome (which work perfectly) but in the interest of your 'going forward' I thought you'd like to know of this glitch.
All the best

I have Firefox 5.0.1 and the coupon printer I'm trying to use is supported by ActiveX. It appears that 5.0.1 is not compatible with ActiveX. Can you tell me how I can access this installation to print my coupons with Firefox, please? Thanks!

Why does firefox have yahoo by default as search engine?? It is very frustrating as I have tried everything but I am stuck with yahoo. i am sure explorer does not have to pay yahoo for ssuch such chep stunts. So what is the way out???

The previous versions of firefox had google by default, which was the best. But now it seems firefox needs money very badly so it has tied up with yahoo to have it as default search engine.
I have tried everything all that the volunteers have suggested but nothing works.
So what to do?? Dump firefox and go back to explorer??? Or can this be fixed????

Fix it easily.

Bugreport: Build Option Flag "Default on Export" not copied to Translation

In a multilingual environment the Build-Option Flag "Default on Export" seems to be nulled when publishing the translations.
The main application has the correct Default on Export-Flag, but the translations don't.
This leads to the result that after publishing and exporting the build option is excluded in the main application but included in the translations.

Joel,
thanks for confirming.
For now i'm using another one of my "dirty" workarounds: after publishing the translations i do an Update on APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_PATCHES and set the DEFAULT_ON_EXPORT to the value it should have.
