Can I copy my Firefox Settings including Toolbox and Certificate Settings?
Well, I need to install Mozilla Firefox on several PC`s with the same Settings, I should change a Toolbox and some Certificate Settings. I know how to install Firefox on this PC`s remotely and silently, how can I replace Settings of Firefox from my PC (because I already tested all Settings) to others by the same way? I want not to change it manually. And also, there is several users at every PC, is there any Way to make this Settings universal to every user? P.S. Maybe I do make a lot of mistakes in Englsih, so, please, forgive me =)

You can copy your profile over >> head on over to about:profiles by typing it in your URL bar, press Open Folder, copy all the data from there onto an external device, then in the new Firefox install goto about:profiles and click Open Folder, paste all the data on the external drive to the profile folder on that install and restart Firefox. Rinse, and repeat.

CCK2 is not available in 57.0, unfortunately. I really want to use this version.

Oh, that`s great, but there is several users working at the same PC. And imo it will be kinda lame to copy profile data to every user`s personal folder. How can I change Profile`s Folder path while installing Firefox with psexec or just change it remotely after installing? Any reg key?
You can use the mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to set or lock preferences and run privileged JavaScript code.
The mozilla.cfg file needs to be in the main Firefox program folder.
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
This requires a local-settings.js file in the "defaults/pref" folder where the channel-prefs.js file is located that specifies to use mozilla.cfg.
//
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
The mozilla.cfg and local-settings.js files need to start with a comment line (//).
