Custom rules are not persistent (rule list if reset after browser restart)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create any new rule, test it, all good
2. Restart browser

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Custom rules are lost, list is reset to the 4 default ones.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Firefox 23/Fedora

Please provide any additional information below.

Apart from this, custom rules work as expected. Thanks.

searchboxsync.rdf is present in Firefox profile's root folder -- default, see 
the date.

-rw-rw-r--+ 1 user user 2000 Sep 23  2011 searchboxsync.rdf

Then, editing it *does* work (after restart, as expected).

Attached, includes rules for wikipedia/wiktionary, startpage and duckduckgo 
FWIW.
