Resolution
Mozilla Firefox save its settings such as "bookmarks as a file: places.sqlite" and this is included under AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.
Thus in order to include this file and all the Mozilla specific settings everytime we login, create the Folders to Mirror policy and add AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles folder in it.
