Open firefox and type "about:config" in the address bar. In the filter
box, type "browser.startup.homepage". Double click that key to change it.
 Close your browser, restart.

That should work.

P.S. While you're there, if you don't need IPv6 support, you can disable
it from this configuration screen for a slight Firefox performance
increase. Type "IPv6" in the filter, double-click the key and change to
"true".
