It's very important to have a simple possibility to define default bookmarks for all users/profiles in system as existed in all Ubuntu versions until 10.10 
This is needed for example for Lithuanian schools and other educational institutions, which uses Ubuntu.

I've found some workaround - create symlink to /usr/lib/firefox-X.X.X/defaults/profile/bookmarks.html (where X.X.X is firefox version number, for example 7.0.1), but in this case I should update symlink every time when I update firefox package to new upstream version :(
Look at code for baltix-default-settings package:

  Binary package hint: firefox

  In previous versions (before 4.0) one could add bookmarks.html to
  /etc/firefox/profile to define default bookmarks for the system, but
  this option is now disabled and there is no alternative proposed to
  define custom bookmarks.
