"remember logins" in the security settings keeps shutting off automatically?
Recently the "remember logins" in the security settings keeps turning off. I turn it back on, restart Firefox, and it works for a while, then sometime later when I start up Firefox the setting is off?? How can I keep it set to on permanently unless I change it??

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

There are other things that need attention.
The System Details List shows that you have multiple Flash plugins.
- Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
- Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0
- Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
