I think the problem might be if you have started firefox ever with sudo the preferences file has been overwritten by root user and you no longer have rw permissions.

check the file (something like this):

ls -l ~/.mozilla/firefox/vkuuxfit.default/prefs.js

and if you are not the owner and you don't have the above mentioned permissions then you can give these permissions to yourself. This solved my problem.
