Zorin placed Hidden File on USB: cannot remove: locked read only all files

One last warning to everyone: When you go to "settings" in firefox and set your search engine? If you remove Google? When you close or reload the page? Google's back...in top position as search engine...everytime...well today, Wikipedia joined it.

Odd that, since I came to zorin because at 22.04 with modem unplugged and bluetooth blocked? I was working on a file when I window popped open, asking me if I wanted to allow file to sent itself back to Wikipedia. I click no, 2 minutes later asking again. I click no and saved that setting: 2 minutes later it back again...and again...and again...

If booting from the stick in LiveUSB, the system defaults to the default state and settings unless the user writes the LiveUSB with persistence.
