I've been using Firefox for years. Now your load screen appears everytime I open. It's a hassle!

Every time I open Firefox to go to the internet I get a page that says thanks for becoming a tester, etc. Then you want me to download Firefox, which I've done 6 times now! Then you make Firefox Search my homepage. Then I change the homepage. Then a screen comes up saying AVG has been successfully installed. Then I use the internet and the next time I re-open Firefox I get the same bull##%% routine!

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
