I change my default search engine every day and when I reboot my computer it reverts back. How can I make my changes stick. There is no save option.

I am not a fan of Bing, so everyday I change my search engine choice in the FireFox settings. Every morning when I start up fresh, the defaults have come back and Bing is my search engine. How do I change this... once and for all?

The change should remain until you change it again. And the change should affect all the standard searches so it should be the same search engine in the addressbar or if you highlight and right click text within a web page.

Is Firefox saving other changes ok ? For instance you can save a bookmark and see the new bookmark still after you restart Firefox.

Check to see if you have any toolbars installed that will cause this. Check your Firefox addons, and any programs installed on Windows. Otherwise it is likely to be adware / malware on your computer. See

Scan with all the tools mentioned as no tool detects everything, and once malware has a toehold you may have multiple issues.
