Sometimes, your Firefox preference settings may not be saved after you change them. For example, you may change a setting in your Firefox OptionsPreferences, only to have it set back to its previous value the next time you open the OptionsPreferences panel.
The possible causes and solutions vary depending on whether you are unable to save a few specific preferences or if no preferences are saved at all. This article may also apply if, after updating Firefox, a Firefox Updated tab opens to a page stating You’ve been updated to the latest version of Firefox every time you start Firefox.

- 2Specific preferences are not saving
- 3Unable to save any preferences or settings
The easiest way to solve this problem is to restore Firefox to its default state while saving your essential information. Besides resetting all preferences to default values, a Firefox refresh will also fix many other issues, including problems caused by extensions or with data and settings that are stored in other files in your Firefox profile. If you'd like to try a more precise fix, skip this section and try the solutions below.
- Click this Refresh Firefox button directly, if you are viewing this page in Firefox.
This won't work if you are using a different browser or on a mobile device.- You can also find a Refresh Firefox button at the top of the Firefox about:supportTroubleshooting Information page.
- To continue, click in the confirmation window that opens.
- Firefox will close to refresh itself. When finished, a window will list your imported information. Click and Firefox will open.
If a specific setting in Firefox keeps resetting or you are unable to change a single setting but other settings save correctly, you may have one of the following issues.
Third-party programs changing Firefox settings
Some programs force Firefox to use certain settings. Below is a list of programs known to do this and actions you can take to make them stop forcing Firefox settings:
- Creative ZenCast changes Firefox's user agent, interfering with Java.
- Uninstall the program.
- McAfee Privacy Service turns Firefox's pop-up blocker off.
- See Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting.
- Norton 360 includes a 'Firefox Privacy Cleanup' feature that, if enabled, overrides your Firefox Privacy settings and prevents you from keeping your Browsing History, Cookies or other private data between sessions.
Some third-party toolbars and add-ons change Firefox's home page and search settings. You can quickly reset these with the SearchReset add-onTo reset these, see Change your default search settings in Firefox and How to set the home page.
- See Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page for more information.

- Save the file and close the text editor.
You should now be able to change your Firefox settings.
Firefox program file locks or prevents changes to certain settings
Your installation of Firefox may have been customized to add a program configuration file that locks certain settings or prevents certain changes from being saved. Follow the Reinstall Firefox step in the Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems article to remove the Firefox program from your computer and then reinstall a new copy of Firefox. (Reinstalling Firefox this way will not remove your user data and settings, since those are saved in a separate location from the program files.)
If none of your settings will save, if you get the Firefox Updated tab every time you start Firefox, or if you have tried the steps above with no effect, the file which Firefox uses to save your preferences may be locked or corrupted.

Knowing Your Computer's Hardware[edit]
It is essential to know what your hardware is before you can use this page. On Windows systems, the easiest way to identify your video hardware is to run DxDiag, which is short for DirectX diagnostic. To do this:
- On Windows XP, click the Start button on the lower left-hand side of the screen, select the 'Run' option and type in dxdiag, then hit enter.
- On Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10, click the Start button and type in dxdiag directly in the search box at the bottom of the start menu that pops up, and hit enter.
- On Windows 8, right-click anywhere on the Start screen and select 'All Apps' in the lower-right. From there, type 'dxdiag' (ignoring the 'No apps match your search' message) to search for it. When you've typed the entire word, it'll show up as an app and you can click on it to launch it.
You may be asked if you want to check for digital signatures. You don't need to for this, so click 'No'. Once you're in DxDiag, on the first screen (System) there will be a box called System Information. Within this box will be your processor and memory information. Under the tab 'Display' will be the information about your video card, in the Device box.
If you are using a GNU/Linux operating system, use the command lshw to view hardware specifications for your machine.
You can also use an external program to find computer details and more accurately determine if your computer is able to run Skyrim. See the External Links section for some such programs.

- ^These cards should max the game at full 1080p without any problems.
- ^These cards should run Skyrim at high settings, give or take a little depending on the resolution. They will definitely play Skyrim well.
- ^These cards should be around medium/high settings give or take a little depending on the exact resolution. Some of these cards are showing their age but should still be more than sufficient for Skyrim.
- ^These cards should be around solid medium settings give or take a little depending on the resolution. These cards should be on par with the console version graphically or even a bit higher.
- ^These cards should run Skyrim, with the right tweaks you could probably get them to look as good as the console version. The farther you get down the list the closer you are to low end.
- ^These cards will have trouble running the game, if they run it at all. The game probably won't be very enjoyable on any of these. Try setting the lowest resolution available (800x450 for 16:9) and desktop resolution 800x600 - playable on Celeron 847 and 807, (SandyBridge 1.1GHz dual core and 1,5GHz single core)
- ^These cards will not run Skyrim, it's time for a new computer.

Operating Systems[edit]
It is recommended that you use Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 to play Skyrim, whether as your native operating system or through dual boot. Wine is a good method for running Skyrim on other operating systems. Because Skyrim is very CPU-intensive, using a virtual machine or emulation will give you drastically reduced performance, bringing an otherwise-powerful system to its knees. It is recommended that Mac OS X users use Boot Camp, as it will allow them to use Windows natively on their computer, or Wine; using Parallels or VMware Fusion will likely give you significantly reduced performance. Linux users may have luck with Wine, with potentially better performance; more information can be found here.
