Firefox & Chrome Settings - Default Profile

Hello everyone, I am looking for a solution to the following problem. I install Firefox and Chrome automatically. But now I don't want to make various settings (like default website or other settings) again and again.

Is it somehow possible to create a default profile for Firefox and Chrome and then roll it out with NTLite?

Or does anyone have another tip on how to do this automatically?
 
Firefox has an addon(i am certain) to backup/import settings, but i do it manually so i have all my bookmarks and addons installed.
go to "C:\Users\username\AppData" (on w7) and there are 3 folders, Local, LocalLow and Roaming. each one will have a folder called Mozilla inside, copy/merge Local, LocalLow and Roaming to the new install, FF has all your settings bookmarks and addons ready to go.
i dont know how to automate and i dont know how to for Chrome.
 
You can prepare an FF profile on a test PC.
Then just copy the FF profile to the AppData/Roaming part (no need to copy what is in AppData/Local or AppData/Local Low) "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[ProfilID]" on each new PC.
The same can be done with the Chrome profile except that in Chrome the profile is in AppaDat/Local, which gives the following path for the profile: "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\local\Mozilla\Google\Chrome\UserData".
For my part I work with a PowerShell script which creates the profiles.ini file (be careful with the FF ID that you have to retrieve in the registry), the profile folder and copies the default profile files there.
