Looks a little tricky to me, but it works. Let's go this way! ;-)
All the needed patches are attached:
"0001-generate-iceweasel-profile-at-build-time.patch" and
"0001-symlink-places.sqlite-for-bookmarks-persistence.patch" are for
Tails;
"0001-Added-bookmarks-preset.patch" is for tails-persistence-setup;
I noticed that .po and .pot files for t-p-s should be updated, as they
refer to line numbers and some of those changed in Presets.pm, and I
added two gettext strings too. Are they updated on t-p-s build, or
should I do that now?
Greetings
Alessandro
