Shalom Maaz,

Configure evolution and firefox on one system. Don't do anything user specific, but all other needed settings.

In your home directory there will be a .firefox folder and one for evolution, also a dot something folder.

Take those folders and their contents and distribute them just after installation and you will have a standard set of settings for each product. Then the user will merely need to set their user name in evolution.
