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. 
>From my view, firefox should not allow any other software that will be installed to register extensions. Isn't that somehow also  a security risk? Firefox asks always, when I try to install an extension from a not known site, but when a program on my computer adds an extension from the background, Firefoy doesn't ask me?
