Every time FF automatically updates it wipes out my options settings such as use Adobe Reader to open PDF files and always ask where to download files. How can I make FF not change these options? If I wanted the default options I would set them to the default. I find this to be a VERY irritating feature of FF.

Hi, please see - How to fix preferences that won't save.

It's possible that an extension is changing your settings, so you might want to try temporarily disabling them one by one.
