Do you notice any other settings changing after you exit and start Firefox up again?

Some things to check:

  • Some utility programs like Advanced SystemCare have a feature to revert your settings to an earlier state between sessions ("Surfing Protection"). That's another thing to check for if you keep losing your settings changes.
  • If you start up Firefox in a sandbox environment (for example, using Sandboxie), changes you make may not be stored on disk, or may be cleared from temporary storage at preset intervals.

When you come back to Firefox, is the theme listed on the Add-ons page, Appearance section, but it's disabled? Or is it completely deleted?

it's completely deleted

Are you talking about a complete (full) theme or about a Persona (lightweight theme) that only gives a background to the user interface (toolbar) area?

more options

toolbar area

more options

The data of all installed Personas and its background (attention) color and text color are stored in the lightweightThemes.usedThemes pref in JSON object format ({"id":"#","name":"xxx",...}). The first entry of that pref is the currently selected Persona. You may want to keep a backup copy of the current value of the lightweightThemes.usedTheme pref and bookmark the pages of installed Personas on the Add-ons site. The images of the currently selected Persona are stored in the lightweighttheme-header and lightweighttheme-footer files in the Firefox profile folder, so make sure to keep these files as well.

Firefox copies the image files to the lwtheme folder in the Firefox profile folder and sets some prefs to true. lightweightThemes.isThemeSelected = true lightweightThemes.persisted.footerURL = true lightweightThemes.persisted.headerURL = true
