When I open a normal firefox browser, my personas are not loading. They only load when I open a ZA Forcefield private browser.

This problem was not occurring before dinner. I left the computer on, went and ate dinner, returned, and my computer was strangely on the Windows login screen. My computer is not set to turn itself off, which makes this more strange.

I had previously uninstalled Flag Fox from my browser, a few days ago, and it is oddly reinstalled in my Firefox also at this time. I've tried to remove it and it stays.

A download and run of MBAM (malware bytes) found Hijack.Homepage or something like that on my computer. Eliminating that fixed the problem with the persona not being displayed on normal Firefox windows. However, none of my previous settings were saved and I had to manually fix everything. Is there a button or setting that backs up and saves your Firefox configuration, or locks it permanently so that your original Firefox can be restored after a hijack has been cleaned from the pc?
