FoxyProxy is supposed to run the Tor Wizard only once–the first execution of Firefox after installation of FoxyProxy. If the Tor Wizard runs repeatedly, Firefox is not writing preference changes to disk. Ensure that Firefox has write access to the file prefs.js in the Firefox Profile directory. Also ensure that Firefox is not crashing or being “killed” (terminating abnormally) when closing because this prevents Firefox from flushing preferences changes to disk. If neither of these are the case, try creating a new Firefox profile. You can copy foxyproxy.xml from the old profile to the new profile in order to retain FoxyProxy settings.
