I have Firefox 3.0.10, and i think it has a bug. Sometimes when I change a setting, or delete a bookmark, etc, after I close and open it again, it undoes the changes. Does anyone else have this problem?

then no. The only thing I found out is that it always undoes the setting when you choose "always perform this check when starting firefox" checkbox (so that it checks if its the default browser) but that's supposed to be that way in Firefox Portable.
I've never had that problem with a local install of firefox.

I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!!!
I just thought it was something wrong with my comp and something I had to deal with...
I've been copy settings over and back lately...

For starters. you mean this "PAGE" should tell why
And it only recently started happening.
Actually, it's not only with 3.0.10, It's happening on my 3.1/3.5 Beta 3 (I know.. I shouldn't be using it for regular browsing anyway).
this page should tell why.

EDIT: Oops. Did you mean you've been having the same problem that it doesn't make it the default browser. Yeah that's what I meant the website to be for. My bad if it wasn't what you were looking for.

We're not trying to make it the deault browser...
sorry
I have the same problem. I try to delete a bookmark but it doesn't.
May the Shwartz be with you
This is nearly always corruption in the profile, specifically the bookmarks sqlite database... or an issue with NTFS permissions.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
And I just updated my FireFTP extention, I clicked the restart button and after the restart... I open up the extentins and it still says I have to restart... and I can't get themes to switch either.
FAT32 is prone to file system corruption, especially if you pull out the drive too soon (even doing this once at the wrong moment can screw things up). Try opening a command prompt and run chkdsk
/f on the drive (replace 
with the correct drive letter of course).
My other apps work fine.
And I run chkdsk on it every like week.
I know I'm not pluggging it out too soon because it gives me the safe to remove alert.
[Edit: And I'm not terminating the application either.]
How are you closing it? You're not using one of those dumb eject utilities that kills (aka crashes) the app are you?

Unfortunately, I'm still trying to learn how to do basic programming, so I don't know how to fix that. The corruption in the profile, I mean.
Probably due to this bug:

Should be fixed in FF3.0.11.
When is 3.0.11 coming out?
