I work in a public library and we would like to set Firefox up to share a common network profile. This was possible with older versions of Firefox but it seems that everything we had set up stopped working when we updated to 6.0.

Firefox is on its last legs at our library and if a simple solution is not found for this problem -one that can be administered locally and which does not require hours of setup- we'll no longer be using Firefox in the library at all.

Additional info - we have 42 desktop PCs in a Windows Forest with a 2003 Server, 2008 Server and Vista Server all linked into the network. The machines are a combination of XP, Vista and Windows 7 machines. All of these machines use the Deep-Freeze software to restore default settings and we need to be able to edit a common network profile so that when we need to update bookmarks or system settings we don't have to manually un-freeze, edit and re-freeze all 42 machines.
