Note that there are other aspects of Iceweasel that we may want to make
persistent, like the changes made by the certificate manager. With a
pre-generated Iceweasel profile, that could be solved in the same way as
with bookmarks. Without it, there would be need for another dedicated
extension.
However, todo/persistence_preset_-_bookmarks has been updated and it
seems that making the bookmarks persistent using this approach may be
trickier than I initially thought.
