You could make an exe that added files to the profile folder that already exists but that means it won't work until after the first run of firefox. On our college network firefox came pre-deployed with extensions, this means they must have included the profile folder somehow, but I'm pretty sure they just cloned the entire system image so it's not exactly an incremental deployment solution, however you could deploy to any profiler folders that exist that don't already have gm_scripts folder but it still requires firefox has experienced first run I would imagine so it would be difficult to confirm deployment to all machines unless you make sure firefox is run first, after that it's probably not that difficult but I'm not sure anyone has an exe for this exact purpose yet but you never know, its difficult to trust exe I would just make my own and then you can configure it to pull the files from some network drive making updates/additions/removals of scripts rather painless. If users install custom scripts though it would be really easy to destroy all their installations unless you update the config file manually. I'd help you make something like this however it would be more costly to support a wider variety of system types than just one or to maintain any additional scripts the user might have installed in the meantime if you have persistent user profiles on your network, even if it's just for some users.
