How to configure some web pages/ addresses in all users PC's using Active Directory Server.

Here we want to add our Office website and some local intranet portal addresses into all user PC's. We want to do it from Server only and don't want to send my Engineers to each and every PC to add those manually.

If these sites were set up as IE Favorites when you originally unleashed the systems, then most likely they already were imported into Firefox's Bookmarks (somewhere).

Firefox's bookmark store is a SQLite file, which Windows does not natively know how to modify. Also, it may be quite a bit of work to build a job to make the updates if users have been allowed to modify their Bookmarks menu structures.

As far as I can tell, Firefox does not have a command-line parameter to import bookmarks, perhaps out of concern that this could be abused by external software. Also, the import process may leave the bookmarks in an unnoticed subfolder.

Hopefully you will get other suggestions, but until then, you might also consider joining the Enterprise Working Group mailing list. See: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
