I would accomplish bookmarks within disposable vm by...
Create an exported tar file of a profile, including the control file for
firefox which defines the default profile.
Start the disposable vm for terminal.
qvm-copy-to-vm the tar file
extract tar
run script
start firefox
It would be a little bit "manual" but would accomplish the goal. The tar file
would be recreated when bookmarked site login info changed etc...
Just my take on it.
