Firefox refuses to keep tabs or keep the settings I want to keep.

So recently, firefox updated on my computer, and every time it shuts down, it removes all of the tabs that I have set to save. I use windows XP. I usually work with about 35 tabs up at a time, and I have it set to remember my tabs for each time I use firefox. I read up on the issue, and it told me to change my settings under privacy to 'use custom settings for history' but every time I set it to that, it pretty much 'ignores' this and changes it back to just 'remember history'. I have absolutely no idea how to work with .JScript files, and I don't want to switch from firefox. Can anyone help? This is the seventh time this week I've needed to manually go through my history and pick out what I hope is each and every tab I need to use. Also, it is not set to always be on private browsing.
