firefox portable won't save settings after upgrade to 3.5.7backwash - January 31, 2010 - 3:12am

I am able to save bookmarks and I've tried deleting the "localstore.rdf" file but that didn't help at all. No settings are saved any longer than the current session that I am using. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks ( categories: )

Launch Firefox Portable again and see if that worked
