Bookmarks not saving in Firefox

Post#1 by Asteroid » 24 Jun 2023, 21:25

Firefox's settings all save fine and so do the XFCE settings with the .dat file and module, but bookmarks do not; Anytime I bookmark something or import bookmarks they are gone on the next boot. Is causing it all to load into RAM and then writing when shutting down the issue here? (changes=EXIT:...)

(using NTFS USB Drive)

Please help

NTFS is for harddrives not USB drives.

Have you made any changes to your /etc/changes-exit.conf file.

It's NTFS just because it's the filesystem that actually allowed the Porteus installation to work and I didn't want to try another filesystem since that was already a pain figuring out which one would let it install properly.

Also, no, I haven't checked the changes-exit.conf file.
