In the "Setting", there are several things that can be chosen, "Browsing 
History", "Saved Form Information", "Saved Passwords", etc.  At the 
bottom of these choices is "Clear Private data when closing Firefox". 
All of these are checked, but can be unchecked by me.  But the last item 
in the list is "Ask me before clearing private data", and it is checked 
but grayed out.  I cannot uncheck this but would LOVE too.  I don't want 
it to ask me each time ... just do it.
