Comment (by cypherpunks):
After updating from 3.4.5 on a FF densely strewn with add-ons. You
basically can't see a rule until it's applied somewhere, and then they get
all re-hidden when you end the session.
Sub-issue #1: when you re-order the visible rules by name, they all revert
to their previous order, which is the order of their use during the
current session. (Along with the main problem, it amounts to an
inadvertent tracker usable by those with a physical access to your
computer).
Sub-issue #2: 'Search www.google.com' (instead of 'encrypted...') turns on
(but can be re-disabled).
