I can't speak for Firefox, but with Mozilla there is a ~/.mozilla directory which, a few subdirectories into it, you will find a bookmarks.html file.  Replace that with your pre-prepared default bookmarks file.  I'm not sure where the homepage selection is kept, but I'd expect to find it somewhere in the .mozilla directory tree.

And setting permissions to this file in .mozilla, as mentioned by Rob,
to 755 would ensure that users are not able to overwrite of change???
