Hi
I had this problem when I upgraded Firefox to v3.5.6.
Look in Preferences > Privacy.
There's a box that says 'Clear history when Firefox closes'.
Make sure that box is not ticked.
That cured it for me.
Also I'm not starting Firefox in a private session either.

What bat999 said.
However, I've found since upgrading to W7Pro (haha, same deal as you!), that Chrome works much better in general, and is considerably faster. Might work for you too

Silly me, had another look in prefs and realised I'd unticked a box by error.
Am now enjoying having a 64-bit o/s on a 64-bit pc, It runs faster than anything I've used before, and now leaves my son's Imac standing.Never Knowingly Understood.

don't forget you can do the following FF tweaks to make it even faster
Type in the address bar about:config.
Type pipelining in the filter bar.
Double-click on network.http.pipelining to set its value to TRUE.
Double-click on network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and change its value to 12 or more if you have broadband. (I have mine set to 100).0 -
