Firefox cleans "Allowed Sites - Add-ons Installation" exceptions list after every restart
Firefox cleans "Allowed Sites - Add-ons Installation" exceptions list after every restart. I've tried new clean profile -- everything works fine. I don't want to install and set-up all addons after profile reset, so trying to figure out the problem.

Try to start Firefox in safe mode.

Do you still see the problem?
Surely you jest!
Way too many extensions! That's just asking for trouble.
Plus with the new Australis interface in Firefox 29, many of the extensions that are disabled due to incompatibility (Inactive) will probably never be updated. This is when "we" lose many add-on developers, when there are major changes in Firefox and they don't want to start from scratch to replicate their add-on.
Plus. it looks like you have too many add-ons that do the same thing or have similar features, which in itself can produce problems.
IMO, you're gonna waste more time trying to fix that Profile (with little chance of success), than if you just "bit the bullet" and started from scratch. Been there, done that a few dozen times with Firefox in the early days. Profiles don't last forever; major changes to Firefox or running too many extensions will create hiccups or faulty interactions that are all but impossible for even the developers to figure out.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.

the-edmeister,
Don't worry, some exts with similar functions don't interfere (cus now it's not first versions of FF, there were troubles that days), they all use for their features its analogs haven't got, and overlapping functions are disabled. Other exts are disabled. As I figured out on the forums, disabled addons don't make much load to the Firefox. I use disabled exts as a list of helpful addons because it may be tough to remember useful addons for some situations.

Note that Firefox will still check if there are updates for disabled extensions.
Do you have to keep continuing to clear the Site Preferences or at least do this once per session or has it been enough to only do this once?
If you have to do this more often then it is possible that the permissions.sqlite file is corrupted or that you have other software (CCleaner, Advanced SystemCare) that is causing this issue.
It required only once to recreate correct permissions.sqlite. I restarted FF a few times, everything seems to be OK. I don't have CCleaner or any other kind of stuff.
May be it will be more effective to use collections on AMO, but I don't like its current design.

Did you already looked at the Australis appearance that will arrive in the next Firefox 29 release?
Yes, I'm already on 29.0, like it specified in this question's Additional System Details but I see no relate to the current topic.
