I suggest you always send the full patch series for review. It's small
enough it make sure there is no misunderstandings in which version of
the previously sent patches should be used.

Having an empty file also did not work in my own tests. What worked was
to have a `places.sqlite` that was a symlink. When it was pointing to a
non-existent file, Iceweasel happily proceeded to create the file from
the default settings.
Instead of using the 'link' option of the persistence framework, how
about using another directory, then? This would result in the following
approach:
* At build time:
- create an Iceweasel profile,
- create an empty `~/.mozilla/bookmarks` directory,
- remove `places.sqlite` from the Iceweasel profile,
- add a symlink `~/.mozilla/default/places.sqlite` pointing
to `~/.mozilla/bookmarks/places.sqlite`.
* When bookmarks persistence is activated:
- add `~/.mozilla/bookmarks` to the set of persistent directories.
Wanna try it?
