Comment(by Mikeplaysfootball):

 Unfortunately I panicked and removed the file without further inspection
 other than noticing the messed up privacy prefs, which -by the way- were
 identical to the default prefs in a normal firefox installation. I could
 not recreate the problem. I have reinstalled from the same installation-
 file and the settings were just as they were supposed to be.

 That's why I assume that it either was an error on installation (which I
 find more unlikely and couldnt recreate that) or that the settings got
 messed with while browsing. The computer's OS was a fresh install and was
 free of rats and various anti-spyware tools and rootkit-scanners could not
 detect anything.

 I think this will remain a mystery but I wanted to state it here just for
 references if some other people also notice weird changes in their
 preferences, especially the privacy ones.
