Out of the blue, Firefox keeps forgetting my Options settings, and I see the Welcome page each time. Profile manager IS being used.

The second reply was a non sequitur and utterly unhelpful. Why did you bother? Some sense of superiority? Try being more HELPful, and less sanctimonious. I have EXACTLY the versions I want of each program that work best on MY computer.
Thank goodness Tony E knew the right answer and directed me to the solution. Thanks, Tony!
It is important to keep software updated to the latest versions to receive security updates.
Using old versions and Firefox 3.5.8 is also 5 versions behind on the current 3.5.13 version makes you more vulnerable than necessary to security vulnerabilities.

Many plugins have full system access and being behind on updates of those can have more serious implications.
