STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FIREFOX, STILL NOT GETTING ANY HELP
EVERY TIME I CLOSE FF WHEN I REPOPEN IT, I END UP BACK AS IF I JUST INSTALLED IT. ALL MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE, ALL MY EXTENSIONS ARE GONE, LIKE I JUST INSTALLED IT.
I'VE TRIED UNINSTALLING AND REINSTALLING AND IT STILL DOES IT.

That is strange. Has Firefox been creating a new profile for each session? To check on that, try the steps in the first section of the following article: Recover lost or missing Bookmarks.

"Has Firefox been creating a new profile for each session?"
I don't know. How do I check this?
I just reinstalled it. In the Profiles folder there are two folders:
3hb6aolj.default contains 1 file: times.json
and
s89wjjsv.default-release contains--12 folders and 38 files.
Okay, it sounds like you only have one active folder (default-release). Is this under the Roaming path?
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\s89wjjsv.default-release
Can you see Firefox updating that profile as you browse? For example, these files in the sessionstore-backups folder should be updated about every 15 seconds if you are opening a lot of new pages:
- recovery.jsonlz4
- recovery.baklz4
If you check the extensions folder, does it contain the number of extensions you expect?

Yes it appears so.
If you check the extensions folder, does it contain the number of extensions you expect? Yes.
I deleted the '3hb6aolj.default' folder and so far I'm not having the same problem.
That's progress. In one of your other threads it was good for 4 days. Let's see how it goes this time. Maybe back up default-release daily?
"Maybe back up default-release daily?" May, but I don't want to have to keep doing that.
