My firefox updates everyday even though I have unchecked all of the update boxes in the options/advanced/updates tab.

When it updates, it changes my home page, privacy settings, and it checks all of the updates that I had previuosly unchecked. So I change all of the settings back. Then the next day, when I bring up firefox, I get the familiar update page, and all of my setting are changed again. Note: Once I change my settings back, they are good all day - until the next day when I turn on the PC. Help!!!
Running version 3.6.9. When I look at update history in options/advanced/update tab, it says "no updates installed yet".

Either Firefox is crashing every time you close it (seems unlikely) or your setting is being overridden. The most common way it gets overridden is if external software creates or edits an optional settings file named user.js. You can use the steps in this article to check for that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
By default, Windows will hide the .js extension, which makes it difficult to work with .js files (for example, to rename them) accurately. You can change this Windows setting using the steps in this article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions
Was that it?
