How come when I close firefox, and reopen it, my persona keeps reverting to one that I stopped using (and uninstalled) weeks ago?

Used a Pokemon Black / White persona for about a week, and then got some new ones. I disabled the Pokemon persona and switched to new ones, but when I restart firefox, it reverts back to the Pokemon persona. I even uninstalled the Pokemon persona in my addons section, and somehow it's still reverting back to that.

The data of the used persona is stored in the file prefs.js in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you may have a problem with that file.

I renamed my prefs.js to "prefs.jsOLD" so that FF would generate a new file upon startup, and after closing it and reopening it, it's still reverting the persona to the deleted one.

Did you check the date and time or compared the content of the file prefs.js?

The data of the currently selected persona are stored as the first entry in the pref lightweightThemes.usedThemes.

Do you have software that may be protecting .js files in the Firefox Profile Folder
