I have a redirect problem, as noted earlier this week, and have yet to find a solution for that but also have another problem. When I uncheck "Accept Third Party Cookies" under options it will not stay unchecked. In fact any change I make goes back to previous settings each time I reboot, etc.

Well I, for one, got tired of waiting for an answer and did the only thing I knew to do. First I did a thorough scan of all drives with the latest virus/pest definitions and knew things were clean that way before uninstalling and re-doing Firefox from scratch. Second I backed up my bookmarks to .html and did a complete uninstall of the old Firefox and did not use the option offered to save my old settings, etc. (Figured I would rather redo them from scratch than chance saving part of my current problem.) After I had uninstalled, erased the Firefox subdirectory in C:/Program Files and done a cold boot I went ahead and installed a new version of Firefox, did the settings to my liking and imported my bookmarks. All looks good after a number of cold and warm boots so guess I cured the problem. I would suggest you do this too and not advise you do a simple update as that may well leave the redirect problem intact. No proof of that but not worth the possibility to me. Good luck to all who take this route!

Does How to fix preferences that won't save help at all?

Also, you should begin to prepare to upgrade to Firefox 11. Firefox 3.6 will be dropped from support in a few weeks, which means it will no longer be receiving security or stability updates. Firefox 11 is up to 7 times faster than 3.6, has lots of new features and improvements, as well as support for new web standards. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/ and Updating Firefox have more information.
