Extensions that may cause problems, disable if present
- McAfee Site Advisor
- PC DiskSuite (not sure if it is an extension)
- AVG Safe
- more information in Problematic extensions
Your options are not sticking so it is probably Corrupt localstore.rdf
- Corrupt localstore.rdf - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

-> click Firefox button and click Options -> Privacy -> History section -> Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History" -> REMOVE Checkmark from Permanent Private Browsing mode -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> Keep Until : select They Expire
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
