Why do I need to keep logging in to my home page
I set my log in to remember me but whenever I close the program and restart, I need to log in again.

Seems like cache is automatically gets clearing.
I will recommend to perform some experiments :-
1. Remove 3rd party applications which are not required from Add or Remove which cud be found within control panel. Check if it solves problem
2. Close antivirus for 5min. Check if it solves problem
3. Reinstall Firefox. Check if it solves problem
