Have you made sure you haven't set any filters in the favorites tab?
I just tried adding a server with the same procedure as you, and it works as intended - the favorite is remembered if HL/CS is closed sanely.
If a server is added to favorites and you use the console /quit command, it won't save (this is similar behavior as on Windows)
Also, adding favorite by IP seems to work for me.
Tried launching steam in a terminal, and see if you get any output when trying to add a favorite?
Hi swordfischer.

View favorites servers list after that:

As you can see there is no server with name ".:REC:.tm|SAMARA" at favorites list.

I'll be damned.
I tried adding a server today, and now I'm experiencing the same thing as you.
I also tried deleting the ServerBrowser.vdf's and add servers again.
I cannot remove nor add servers now.
I have to add that I tried adding a server with a name similar to yours (starting with .:) - this might be why?
Yes, I think its bug.
Nothing extracted yet.
1.Select server from list.
2.Right mouse button click.
3.Select "Add to favorite"
4.Nothing happens. Server does not added to favorite servers list.
