Issue: We have a number of bookmarks that we need to publish to our users computers that are bound to active directory. We can easily accomplish this with group policy for Internet Explorer. At the present time, I am not able to locate a way in which to publish these same set of bookmarks to our staff user's computers for FireFox. Each computer in our organization has FireFox installed on it and we need to keep the core set of bookmarks the same for both browsers. I was curious if there was a way to send these out to FireFox through group policy in case we needed to edit them again in the future.
UPDATE: We have many versions of FireFox that are greater than v3.6. We also are wanting to append these bookmarks to all users even for users with existing profiles.
The simple way to do this is to create a batch script that copies the bookmarks from a network share to the user's profile. The assign the script to run at login time using GPO.
EDIT: Sorry for the previous answer. Apparently Firefox bookmarks have been in a sqlite database since v3.
You have work to do. According to this page you can use sqlite to query the places.sqlite database and retrieve records. The Mozilla developer page is here. The sqlite executables are available for download here:
And you can use the SQLite manager Add-on for firefox to learn the database layout so you can script the adds.
