Yeah, I think I can literally spend a good hour or two configuring firefox on a new install. I don't doubt it's an easy process to automate but I can go years without needing a new linux install so I don't care enough to learn a better way, especially when I'm going to want to configure stuff that isn't firefox on a new install as well.
If it makes you feel better i dont think automation is worth it for infrequent tasks like this because a) youll forget where your automation is + how to use it, and b) what you want to configure and possibly how it is even accomoplished will change.
I looked into this specifically at one point and iirc its some sort of js file but seemed like it wasnt going to work.
