I don't know why firefox suddenly decides to start in the default settings, and I lose all my bookmarks, history, desktop settings, etc.., and I get just a basic page with nothing on it? My laptop gets windows updates everyday and my security settings and Java are up to date, but, I still lose my original firefox page. In few days, all of a sudden, the original page comes back all by itself?

Also, why this does not happen with Internet EXPLORER, AND ONLY WITH FIREFOX. This makes hate using firefox because i think it is unstable.

Please help me solve this issue..Thank you.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.


Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
