Set synced profile from command line

more options

We have a test environment with many virtual machines, the virtual machines are dynamically generated with Vagrant and all the required software is installed at the moment as chocolatey packages. Firefox is also installed as a chocolatey package and we use a synced profile to initialize firefox faster. Anyway the initialization of firefox with the synced profile has to be done by hand, but actually we would like to automatize also this step. Is there a way to configure the synced profile from command line? So that after installing firefox with a chocolatey package we can configure immediately the synced profile. So when firefox starts for the first time, it has already this information and can sync at once the profile.

Hi, you do know that Sync is for syncing devices together and is not a backup service.
