Tried 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.3 on my Nevada box here. If I check the setting,
I can see the line user_pref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown",
true); in prefs.js; if I uncheck it, the line disappears. From
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries#Privacy..2A, the default
setting is "False". That's to say, when I restart Firefox without the
line in prefs.js. The setting will remain uncheck.

Not sure whether this is related to the build 2.0.0.14. Could you try
2.0.0.16 or 3.0.3 (2.0.0.17 will be available soon) to verify? A
possible workaround is to create a user.js file in your profile
directory and put the line
user_pref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", false); in it:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file, or create a new profile.
Hope this help,
