Hi,
found a possible reason for that broken extensions.rdf file:
I found out that there was one extension, not installed through Firefox! It 
came with GMX Netphone 
(http://faq.gmx.net/dsl_telefonie/gmx_netphone/kopie_von_fragen_zu_softphone_2_0/1.html)
 and could neither be removed not controlled from within firefox extensions 
manager! Seems a bit strange... it could also not be found in the extensions 
directory, don't know where the netphone saved this extension.
When I removed the GMX netphone, the extensions.rdf didn't get corrupted 
anymore by using the same firefox profile with windows and linux. However, I 
will try to recreate the broken extensions.rdf to find out the failure.
