My Firefox 4 network settings are not saved when I restart Firefox.

In particular, when I set my proxy configuration to 'No Proxy', it keeps getting reverted back to 'Manual Proxy' with '127.0.0.1' as the proxy address and '63111' as the port.

This issue can also be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I am able to change and add bookmarks, but these changes are sometimes not saved when I restart Firefox.

Since updating to Firefox 4, changes to bookmarks are saved sometimes after restart, but not usually (maybe 25% of the time). The problem sounds exactly like what is described on the [[Bookmarks not saved]] help page, yet after making all the recommended changes, the problem persists. I have also performed the recommended actions on the [[Toolbar keeps resetting]] help page, with no luck there either.
The only other thing that I can think of that may be helpful is that I use Firefox Sync between two computers, and both seem to be having this problem.

I have some more information, in case it helps. During one Firefox session, I made about 8 changes to my bookmarks.When I restarted Firefox, the first few changes I had made were saved, but the rest were not. Additionally, the favicons that were present during my last session (that I hadn't had before that session) were reverted to the default favicon. I hope this helps!

Why are the tabs not saved when I restart Firefox? Very frustrating with the new version.

I pin a tab - or many tabs. Close Firefox, then open it the tabs are never saved. This was never the issue with the older versions of Firefox - been using it for years. I bought a new computer, loaded Firefox (19.0) and now I cannot "save" the tabs.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

When Firefox is closed, all previous search page and home page settings are not saved. Must reset firefox and reset homepage url everytime.

All previous search engines on "Manage Search Engines" are gone and cant access the "get more search engines"...all grayed out.

Session Manager and Save session are the ad-ons which can solve your problem of saving previous search pages and url.
To set up home page and its related error You have to read this :

Sorry Photoshop -- Problems solved -- I read the details -- turns out you need to make changes with no files open for the preferences to apply to all files.

Settings are not saving

Hi Guys
I am fairly new to my iMac (since Christmas). Everything was working perfect and now I am noticing that my settings are not saving. Some examples are:
1. I set it so my pictures can be shared with other users. The other users of this mac still cannot pull up the pictures in their iPhoto.
2. I have the settings for software update set to check monthly. Every time I wake up my computer it checks for updates automatically.
3. The log in settings are set to log in without a password every time I wake up the mac and it still requires a password.
What is going on??? It is so frustrating, please please help???

So even after opening iPhoto, there is no file "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" in your ~/Library/Preferences folder (that is in your HOME folder, NOT the Library folder at the top level of your hard drive)?
If so, there is an issue with permissions to write to your ~/Library/Preferences folder. Go up one level to your ~/Library folder (again, the one in your HOME folder), click once on Preferences folder, then chose menu File>Get Info. At the bottom of the Get Info window, next to your user name, the Privilege column should say Read & Write.
If it doesn't say "Read & Write" next your name, you have to change it so that it does. Click on the lock icon in the lower right of the "Get Info" window, enter admin user name and password. Change the Privilege column next to your user name to "Read & Write." Then click on the little gear icon at the very bottom of the Get Info and select "Apply to enclosed items."
You might want to go through that procedure even if it does say "Read & Write" just to make sure, because it really sounds like you have a problem with permissions in the Preferences folder.

You may want to look under date & time and set the clock from the internet. At least you will have the correct time after a while.

Mail settings are not saved any more

Hi,
after my mailbox structure has crashed, I tried to reset Mail as explained in this answer: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22302114#22302114
After restarting Mail all settings were deleted (as expected) and I set up my accounts and settings again. Then I recognized that the settings are not saved any more. I tried some times but Mail didn't save the settings.
I hope there is a chance to fix this problem.
Thanks for help.

Thanks for linked document but I find it funny and someone rude that the article assumes that EVERYONE knows the lingo used - i.e. Profile Folder is in "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\" . Where the hell is that???? Jesus, it's much easier to switch to Chrome.

Form settings are not saved on one client

Hello,
What are possible reasons that form settings like size and position are not saved.
I have one client with SBO 8.8 PL15 installed. On this client this settings are not saved.
So the user has to resize the forms everytime he opens it.
I tried it myself with his SBO user directly on the server and a terminal-server. No problems there, all settings
are saved even if i switch between the systems.
If i am correct these settings are saved in the UserPrefs field in the OUSR table.
Any ideas?
Thank you for all your help.

Hi,
Have you searched the forum?
You may check this to start:

Changes to my bookmarks are not saved when firefox is restarted. I already tried deleting places.sqlite, but it is still doing this.

Since I downloaded Firefox 4, I have not been able to save changes to my bookmarks (this includes both adding new bookmarks or deleting old bookmarks). When I make a change, the changes are not saved the next time I restart Firefox. After doing a Google search I found a Mozilla help page that suggested deleting the place.sqlite file. After doing this, Firefox will save changes for a few days, but then go back to not saving the changes. I've done this twice already.

Sounds that you have cleanup or other security software that cause corruption of the file places.sqlite
You need to check the settings of your software and make sure that you exclude the Firefox Profile Folder to avoid such problems.

Early 08 MBPro-TCP/IP settings are not saved

On my home wireless network I have MAC address filtering enabled and broadcast SSID disabled. All MAC addresses are entered in the router's filter. An early 08 MBPro does not retain network settings for Verizon router on the network. When I look at the TCP/IP settings in network prefs I see they are nothing like other computers on my home network. If I click "assist me" then "diagnostics" in Airport setup I get walked through a process which allows me to choose the network I want to join. There is a list of available networks which does not include mine (since SSID is disabled) and a button which allows me to choose closed network, which I take. After entering my network's ID and WEP password I finally get connected and get a message that my connection is OK. Problem is, when I put the computer to sleep or restart I can't reconnect and the old settings which don't work reappear. It appears that the TCP/IP settings are not being saved. Could this be some corrupted preference of does it sound like a hardware problem? Thanks for any insights.

Odd. You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.7 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Oh, and please be sure to re-boot your modem and router.
