use Windows Explorer to extract the contents. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/About_omni.jar

There is no need to edit files in the omni.ja! archives to achieve this.

If you need to initialize specific files in a new profile then create a template folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\defaults\profile\) and place the files in that folder.
