Why won't FIREFOX save my HISTORY settings of USE CUSTOM settings?!!!
This is very very annoying. I'm ready to throw this program down the bit bucket. I use it to access facebook and play farmville. I need it to REMEMBER things so that every time I load farm ville it doesn't have to get stuff from their server..
Every time I open fire fox, and go to face book, and load farmville I get a message that says I can load faster if I allow it to store data on my Computer..
I go to firefox settings and find ONCE AGAIN my History preferences will NOT save "USE CUSTOM SETTINGS".
I have to change it every time. I have both 32 bit and 64 bit Nightly (beta) versions on my computer. I have totally removed both, restarted windows 7, restarted it again, re-installed fire fox and it STILL happens...
Why? I will be darned if I will use explorer, but at least it SAVES the settings and doesn't get them screwed up!

Hello,
Please see the article How to fix preferences that won't save.
Check to make sure that you don't have a user.js or mozilla.cfg file that set your preferences each time you restart Firefox.

Unrelated issue: You have multiple Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in's installed - some browsing issues can be experienced with multiple versions of the same plugin. Uninstall the older versions.

I had the same problem. Strangely when I check "Clear History When Firefox closes" it keeps the "Use custom settings" option. I then just unchecked the settings against clearing the history that I didn't want cleared.
Don't get confused:
If you see "(Never) Remember History" then that means that all history and cookie settings are set to the default value (i.e. cookies are enabled). The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made. If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History". "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark. "Use custom settings for history" stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the default setting have been made.

OK so I agree I was confused. What is confusing me even more is the number of times sites tell me I need to set my cookie settings to accept when as far as I can see it already is.
