Click on the orange "Firefox" icon at the top left corner, select "Options" and click on "Options". In the "General" tab, edit the "Startup" section. Either type in the website manually, or select "Use current" (which uses the website you're currently on as your homepage). Also, make sure that "When Firefox starts" has "Show my home page" selected.

Hope this helps.
