How to insert bookmarks into an custom installer

more options

Hello,

I'm trying for quit some time now to insert some fixed bookmarks into a custom firefox 7.0.1 installer.

I tried to use a default profile that has those settings preset, but this isn't working out well. Lot's of users are working on the same computers and every time someone logs into the AD and his roaming profile gets loaded firefox creates an new profile. I have to make the changes everytime they created a profile.

Is there a way to customize the default profile thats loaded by first start? Or force firefox to look at a different location (at first start) for the profiles.ini? Then i use a customized profiles.ini on a other location (not the usual profile path).

If you need more information, just ask, i want this to work :)

You can place a file bookmarks.html in the location of the default profile template folder \defaults\profile in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
All files in that folder are copied to the new profile.
