can't keep Firefox settings on computer

more options

every time I close Firefox, I lose all my customizations and settings. even after going thru sync etc. It seems to recognize my computer as "new" every time and when I look at my sync'd devices, I can see my computer with its tabs from my prior session.

how to I merge these devices or fix this problem? this is becoming a huge waste of time for me as much as I like Firefox and what its trying to do
