It's not much problem to write a small shell script to do this. You allready know where to put the file, part from the random default userid string. I'm assuming that you have full privileges over the home directories so you could do something like:

Code:
find /Students/*/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/ -name "bookmarks.html" > /tmp/firefox_bookmark_loc.out
cat /tmp/firefox_bookmark_loc.out | while read line
do
mv /my/new/bookmars.html $line
done

Something like this should do the trick - but ofcourse it overwrites what is previously set in the bookmarks, but according to your post I assume thats allrigt?
