Push out Firefox bookmarks to multiple users

Ok, so I want to push out Firefox bookmarks to all the student accounts on my Mac server, but we all know how fun-loving Firefox profiles are, with their random czg6hi72.default profile names.

My question is how would I send the bookmarks.html file out to /Students/<username>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/czg6hi72.default when the czg6hi72.default is going to be different for every account. Since that is the only folder in the Profiles folder, is there a way to say go into whichever folder is in the Profiles folder?

Please let me know if this doesn't make any sense.. even I'm getting confused!!
Thanks!
