When I restart my computer the speed dial items that were shown at the top of the screen are gone. I have to retrieve them. Before I scanned for viruses with Spy Hunter and deleted them I could restart and the speed dial items would come back to the top of the screen and I don't remember how I got that to happen.

I would appreciate your help.

Is Speed dial still installed?

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.

If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.
