Hi,

I've been tasked with deploying Firefox bookmarks via GPO. The GPO add-on is installed.

Initially things are fine as I can deploy our centrally created places.sqlite file to the relevant Firefox directory.

However, if the user creates new bookmarks these are overwritten when our central places.sqlite file is redeployed. We have to update the file frequently as new favourites are added.

Is there any way of us being able to update each users places.sqlite without them losing their personally created bookmarks?

Cheers.
