When I install an extension (tried with Adblock,flash click to view,RSS reader
panel) firebird asks for a restart. One broswer is restarted proxy settings are lost

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change proxy settings to either Manual Proxy configuration or automatic proxy
configuration url
2. Install an extension
3. Restart the browser
4. Check the proxy settings. They are reset to default setting

Actual Results:  
Proxy settings lost

Expected Results:  
Retain proxy settings
O this is not just related to extensions. Whenver i shutdown firebird and start
it again i loose proxy settings. I am using a clean install and clean profile
Severity: critical → blocker
Summary: installing any extension clears proxy settings → Firebird looses proxy settings on restart
Do you only lose proxy settings, or are other preferences not saved?  Is this a
new profile?
Summary: Firebird looses proxy settings on restart → Firebird loses proxy settings on restart
not blocker severity.  Not even critical (hang/crash/dataloss)
Severity: blocker → major
This happens on a new profile. And yes its not just related proxy settings. I
loose all my preferences
