Bug Description

A default firefox configuration with bookmarks and the home page set up would be nice; there are other things we could do here such as set up certificates, etc. I'll attach a tarball with the homepage and AMT links in an AMT bookmark folder

As much as I'd like to do this, Firefox seems to randomize the name of the profile, making this almost impossible to automate. I'm open to suggestions. Perhaps we should default to chromium instead?

I'm going to mark this incomplete, until we figure this one out...

Hi Dustin,

If you put your profiles.ini, you can customize the path of profile folder.
For example with the content below in ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini, you can use ~/.mozilla/firefox/default/ as your profile folder without random strings.
====
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=default
