Interface settings are not saved, like all the others. Every time i launch Firefox it`s like first time, the only thing what Firefox saving is bookmarks. I added browser to antivirus and firewall exceptions, it`s doesn`t help. I tryed deleting xulstore.json but so far nothing has helped.

Thanks! Problem was with prefs.js. Somehow Windows didn`t let me do anything with that file. It wasn't locked or any thing like that, but it also won`t save changes to it. After refreshing Firefox everything working fine. I actually missed whole "Refresh Firefox to fix the problem" part of "How to"))
